Overview
- ICA SF will vacate The Cube by the end of the year, with its final exhibitions closing on December 7.
- The organization says The Cube was always a temporary test site, and Mayor Daniel Lurie has publicly supported the citywide pivot.
- During San Francisco Art Week in January 2026, ICA SF will present two programs at the Transamerica Pyramid Center featuring Tara Donovan sculptures and Lily Kwong’s site-responsive EARTHSEED DOME.
- Further plans include a late-spring 2026 exhibition at Pier 24 for Dominique Fung and Heidi Lau and a 2027 project to convert the Dogpatch Power Station’s 300-foot smokestack into a vertical gallery.
- The San Francisco Chronicle reports Wharton has a long-term lease with Vornado for the 80,000-square-foot Cube and could move in within about 18 months, more than doubling its current Hills Plaza footprint.
