Lauren Ross Named Inaugural Curator at Virginia Commonwealth University’s ICA

Lauren Ross will serve as curator under director Lisa Freiman at Virginia Commonwealth University Institute for Contemporary Art, which will open in 2016.

Formerly a White Columns director, Ross was the first arts curator at New York’s High Line park. She comes to the ICA from the Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where she was curator of modern and contemporary art.

The ICA, a non-collecting institution designed by Steven Holl Architects, will be a major undertaking at the school.
