About

The International Center of Photography is the world’s leading institution dedicated to photography and visual culture. Cornell Capa founded ICP in 1974 to champion “concerned photography”—socially and politically minded images that can educate and change the world. Through our exhibitions, education programs, community outreach, and public programs, ICP offers an open forum for dialogue about the power of the image.

 

ICP’s shop features a lively and comprehensive photography book selection as well as imaginatively curated objects and apparel.

 

ICP is located at 79 Essex Street on Manhattan's Lower East Side. Learn more about our exhibitions, education programs, and events.
