The Institute of Contemporary Art on the Seaport waterfront is free for everyone every Thursday night from 5 to 9 PM. The catch is the ticket: free tickets are required, so reserve yours on the ICA’s site before you go, because the museum says walk-up entry isn’t guaranteed. Check-in starts at 5, and the last entry is 8:30, so aim for earlier in the evening if you want time in every gallery.
What’s up right now, per the ICA: Cynthia Daignault’s Valley and Leilah Babirye’s Embaga ya Naki ne Naki (both through January 18), the museum’s anniversary show 90 Years and My ICA Story (through March 7), To My Best Friend (through December 31) and Caroline Monnet’s Man-made Land. The ICA’s Wine + Coffee Bar is inside if you want a drink between floors. The museum is at 25 Harbor Shore Drive; directions and parking are on its site. Upcoming free nights the ICA lists: November 5, 12 and 19, and December 3, 10 and 17. More free nights are on our free events page.
