Supporters gathered in the Garden at ICA San Diego/North in Encinitas for the HeART of ICA Gala on May 17, 2025. The evening, part of ICA’s “On Healing” exhibition season, invited guests to reflect on the role of art in our physical, mental, emotional, and collective wellbeing. Highlights included a tour of Heavy as Ghosts by 2024 Artists-in-Residence Ethan Chan and David Peña, dinner and wine under the stars by Jeffrey Strauss of Pamplemousse Grille, live music by Pepper & Pocket, and a lively auction.
