We have a new update to share about the Lower East Side, and it's certainly one we think you'll have eyes for!

"UPDATE: The International Center of Photography has confirmed that it will be opening a new space at 242 Broome Street. The Center will consolidate the ICP Museum (currently at 250 Bowery) and the ICP School (in Midtown), all into nearly 40,000 square feet of space at 242 Broome.

The space will be divided between the two structures that make up the up 242 Broome Street condo building. The ICP will take up about 20,000 square in the shorter four-story structure that’s separated from the main condo building by a set of “soho stairs.” The remaining portion of the new ICP will be located at the base of the main building."

“We are thrilled to be reuniting the ICP Museum and the ICP School under one roof. This is something towards which we’ve been working for nearly twenty years,” ICP Board President Jeffrey Rosen and ICP Board Chair Caryl Englander, said in a joint statement.

“Our Essex venue will continue to reinforce our ties with the vibrant Lower East Side arts community,” ICP executive director Mark Lubell, added. “It enables us to look forward to an exciting future for both ICP and the neighborhood as a whole.”
