ICA Halloween: Black + White Ball

Enter a world drained of color but brimming with drama. Dress to distress in inky black or ghostly white for an evening of undead DJ Big Bear, surprise performances from Boston Circus Guild, and spooky specialty food and drinks—all set within a striking black-and-white environment created by local artist Jaina Cipriano. 

Please note: This is a 21+ event. IDs will be checked at the door, guests who do not have a valid ID will not be permitted into the event. The ICA galleries and the ICA Store will be closed during this event. Bars and doors close at 11:30 PM.   

A note on costumes:  

The ICA’s Halloween events offer an inclusive and safe celebration for all. Costumes that perpetuate cultural appropriation, discrimination, or violence of any kind, including fake weapons, are not permitted.  

For the safety and enjoyment of all attending the event, the following items are not permitted:  

• Oversized costume elements that obstruct movement  
• Bubbles or smoke  
• Elements that fully conceal the face  
• Shirt and shoes required. We invite you to be inspired by art, artists, and your own imagination!
