The Miller ICA at Carnegie Mellon University (also known as the Miller Institute for Contemporary Art or Miller ICA)[1] is the contemporary art gallery of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Description

The Miller ICA supports art experimentation that expands the notions of art and culture, providing a forum for engaged conversations about creativity and innovation. The gallery produces exhibitions, projects, events, and publications with a focus on social issues, and has been supported by the Carnegie Mellon College of Fine Arts.[1]

The gallery is housed in a three-story, 8,000-square-foot (740 m2) space located in the Purnell Center for the Arts on the university campus at 5000 Forbes Avenue, at the border between the Oakland and Squirrel Hill neighborhoods. Exhibitions are free and open to the public.[2]

History

Originally known as the Miller Gallery, the exhibition space was founded in 2000 by Regina Gouger Miller, who is an artist, educator, businesswoman, arts patron, and alumna of Carnegie Mellon School of Art.[1] Petra Fallaux, director of the existing Hewlett Gallery, inaugurated the space. In 2002, Jenny Strayer was hired as director and served until 2007. Astria Suparak served as director and curator of the gallery from 2008 until 2014. In 2014, the College terminated the position of director/curator and changed the mission of the gallery.[3]
