Free Thursday Nights at ICA


Editors' Take

Not only is it HOT to make out in the galleries, surrounded by contemporary art, it's free! That pretty much makes it the perfect date night.


5pm to 9pm
Free Thursdays
at Institute of Contemporary Art, 100 Northern Ave, Boston (South Boston/Waterfront)
FREE

There were those who sat through the dreaded purgatory tent of 'free opening day', but let's forgive & forget because now we can amble in any Thurdsday night. It’s technically called ‘Target Free Thursday Nights’, because Thursday evenings are free as long as Target will sponsor it. I say, "Who cares? You see the same darn thing!"

The cool thing is that they actually do special events on many Thursday nights.  Below are the original posted events.  I'lll try to keep up, but there's a good chance to see something extra if you go on Free Thursdays. At the very least, take a walk around the galleries and enjoy the fantastic view of the harbor.

• Target Free Thursday Night

• Saturday  & Sunday

    I went and it is good. Download the audio tour at their website onto your MP3 for a guide as most of the work is highly conceptual and you may never understand the symbolism without an explanation. Some really interesting stuff though.
