Description

The School of the International Center of Photography glows in the dark as a beacon for night time street photographers. Captured here in stunning black and white with a reflection in the polished stone.

The International Center of Photography is a photography museum, school, and research center in New York City, United States. The new ICP Museum opens on June 23, 2016 at 250 Bowery.
The ICP was founded in 1974. It is the host of the Infinity Awards, inaugurated in 1985 "to bring public attention to outstanding achievements in photography by honoring individuals with distinguished careers in the field and by identifying future luminaries".
Since its founding in 1974 by Cornell Capa with help from Micha Bar-Am in Willard Straight House, on Fifth Avenue's Museum Mile, ICP has presented over 500 exhibitions, bringing the work of more than 3,000 photographers and other artists to the public in one-person and group exhibitions and provided various classes and workshops for students. ICP was founded as an institution to keep the legacy of "Concerned Photography" alive. After the untimely deaths of his brother Robert Capa and his colleagues Werner Bischof, Chim (David Seymour), and Dan Weiner in the 1950s, Capa saw the need to keep their humanitarian documentary work in the public eye. In 1966 he founded the International Fund for Concerned Photography. By 1974 the Fund needed a home, and the International Center of Photography was created.
The School offers a year-round selection of continuing education classes; three one-year Certificate programs (General Studies in Photography and Documentary Photography and Photojournalism and New Media Narratives); and the ICP-Bard Program in Advanced Photographic Studies, a two-year graduate program leading to a master of fine arts degree.
