"The International Center of Photography is a museum,
a school and a center for photographers and photography. ICP's
mission is to present photography's vital and central place
in contemporary culture, and to lead in interpretation issues
central to its development.
ICP celebrates photography's diversity in many roles: as an
agent of social change, a medium of aesthetic expression,
a tool for scientific or historical research, and a repository
for personal experience and memory. Like the changing photographic
medium itself, ICP's mission is expanding to encompass the
new electronic imaging media which will shape the twenty-first
century just as photography did the twentieth." Also
on hand at ICP is:
'Its library which houses over 8,000 volumes on all aspects
of photography, over 7,000 biographical files and some 10,000
back issues of photography and art magazines.
Education programs; Family programs; Outreach programs and
workshops for young people, students, schools, community centers
and more.
