Sheila Hicks: 50 Years, a touring exhibition organized by the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, Massachusetts, is the first major retrospective to honor the singular accomplishments of this exceptional artist. Hicks' work has been at the forefront of experimentation in two- and three-dimensional works in fibers and spans the worlds of craft and industrial design. To spur dialogue around the work, the Institute of Contemporary Art organized a series of lectures to complement the exhibition that brought together scientists, artists, designers, historians, and architects.

Founded in 1963, the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) at the University of Pennsylvania has developed an international reputation as a preeminent venue for contemporary art and culture. ICA is widely known for exhibiting artists at critical points in their careers. It organized the first museum shows on the work of Andy Warhol, Laurie Anderson, Robert Indiana, and Agnes Martin. A non-collecting museum, ICA is also one of the only kunsthalles in America.
