ICA Miami Buys De La Cruz Collection Space | Artnet News

The Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, is dramatically expanding with the $25 million purchase of the exhibition space formerly occupied by the Carlos and Rosa de la Cruz Collection. The building is next door to the ICA’s facility in the Design District. The expansion coincides with the institution’s 10th anniversary.

The acquisition will afford ICA some 30,000 square feet of space, doubling its exhibition facilities. The money comes entirely from private funds, including from the institution’s board as well as many other private area funders and a $5 million grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.

Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz had displayed their extensive collection of contemporary art there since 2009. The collection was a must-see for visitors, especially during the December art fair season, during which the family typically hosted large events. Rosa de la Cruz died in February at 81; Artnet News broke the story the following month that their holdings would head to auction at Christie’s, and speculated that the facility could become part of the ICA.

“This expansion grew organically out of the demand for our programs and was supported by great enthusiasm from the board,” said creative director Alex Gartenfeld over the phone. “There was a longstanding articulated need for space for the permanent collection, special exhibitions, and public programs and education programs. There was a pent-up demand.”

Many donors, he said, had previously backed campaigns to support operations and the museum’s endowment, while many were new donors. A press release lists about two dozen participants, from Micky Beyer to Allan Yarkin. Miami real estate developer Craig Robins is providing in-kind support, purchasing a neighboring parking lot that was part of the facility.

“It really spoke to people that we could buy this building and preserve it as an important space, where generations have learned about contemporary art,” said Gartenfeld. It also didn’t hurt that it was already serving as an exhibition space and would not have to be completely retrofitted, he pointed out, though there will be some renovations. The fundraising campaign to support that and continuing operating costs is ongoing.

The collection, which spans some 1,100 works at present and continues to expand, is already in the spotlight, as it happens, in the current exhibition “Toward the Celestial: ICA Miami’s Collection at 10 Years” (on view through October 27). Among the more notable figures included are Louise Bourgeois, George Condo, Dan Flavin, Ragnar Kjartansson, Daniel Lind Ramos, Nicolas Party, and Betye Saar.

“I think we have one of the most dynamic collections of contemporary art in the country,” said Gartenfeld. “We’re very active in our support for emerging, under-recognized, and established artists. It’s a global collection, its earliest works dating as far back as 1957 but of course continuing on to 2024. It’s a collection that spans media and disciplines, capturing global conversations but rooted in Miami as well.”

While Rosa de la Cruz passed away only in February, Gartenfeld pointed out, that was hardly the beginning of the planning for ICA’s expansion.

“This has been years in the making,” he said, “and the plans became far more firm following Rosa’s passing, which was a huge loss for our community. I think the family felt it was right to pass the torch.”

Orlando 2-4 Miami (2 Mar, 2026) Game Analysis – ESPN

Orlando 2-4 Miami (2 Mar, 2026) Game Analysis – ESPN

ORLANDO, Fla. — Lionel Messi scored twice in a four-goal second half, defender Telasco Segovia added a goal and two assists and defending champion Inter Miami CF rallied to beat Orlando City SC 4-2 on Sunday night, winning for the first time at Inter&Co Stadium.

Messi took a pass from Segovia and scored in the 57th minute to tie it 2-2, and Segovia scored unassisted in the 85th for the lead. Messi put the finishing touch on the victory when he scored off a free kick in the 90th.

“The victory belongs exclusively to the players,” Miami coach Javier Mascherano said after the game. “In the second half, they were a championship team. There were no tactics, nothing like that. There was heart, courage, possession, resilience, commitment. I think the team came out because they were champions last year.

“In the end, the players showed it. This victory is theirs.”

Messi’s first two goals of the season give him 52 in his first 55 regular-season MLS matches — 51 of them in his past 49 appearances. It also brought the reigning MLS MVP to 898 career goals scored, including 672 for Barcelona and 115 for Argentina.

“He’s the best player to ever play this sport. He’s a leader, and as a leader, he inspires others, but he also often needs to be inspired himself,” Mascherano said of Messi. “When he was driving forward, he had more attacking options, and with so many opportunities, he clearly has the ability to create chances like no one else, and that’s what allowed us to turn the game around.”

Marco Pašalić took a pass from Iván Angulo and scored in the 18th minute to give Orlando City a 1-0 lead. Pašalić has scored in four straight matches against Inter Miami.

Inter Miami players celebrate after scoring a goal against Orlando City in MLS.

Defender Griffin Dorsey set up Martín Ojeda for a goal six minutes later for a 2-0 advantage that stood through halftime.

Inter Miami cut it to 2-1 four minutes into the second half on Mateo Silvetti’s first career goal. Defenders Segovia and Facundo Mura had assists as the 20-year-old forward found the net in his fifth career appearance.

Segovia had eight goals and six assists as a rookie last season, while Mura collected his first assist in his first season.

Dayne St. Clair, the reigning goalkeeper of the year, turned away three shots — all in the second half of his second start with Inter Miami, but let in a soft goal for Orlando’s first.

Maxime Crépeau had four saves in his second start for Orlando City.

Teenager Colin Guske, 19, will miss Orlando City’s next match after the rookie picked up two yellow cards in his first start — the second one led to his exit in the 88th minute.

Inter Miami, which had never won in its previous nine trips to Orlando, was coming off a 3-0 road loss to LAFC.

Orlando City swept Inter Miami during the regular season last year and leads the all-time series 8-7-4.

Inter Miami plays D.C. United on Saturday at Audi Field. Orlando City is also on the road with a match against New York City FC.
