The Institute of Contemporary Art was established in 2012 with the aim to promote contemporary arts in Montenegro and cultural co-operation between Montenegro and countries in the region. The organization works both in and out of Montenegro: Activities in Montenegro focus on bringing together artists and people in the field of arts from the region in order to address common issues on contemporary arts and culture via discussions, exhibitions, production and publications. Activities out of Montenegro take the form of international meetings, conferences, workshops, prizes and scholarships as well as international exhibitions and fairs with the aim to promote cultural diversity.
