ICP Public Programs Fall 2019
As ICP prepares for its move to a new, integrated space at 79 Essex Street opening in January 2020, most of this fall’s public programs will be held at Abrons Arts Center (466 Grand Street, New York, NY 10002).
ICP Members continue to have access to preferred seating at most of our public programs, in addition to many other exclusive privileges and benefits. Join today!
Most ICP Public Programs are offered free of charge, but advanced registration is strongly encouraged. Dates, times, and locations are subject to change.
