The Immigrant Council for Arts Innovation is an Alberta-based arts council. ICAI was established in January 2019, with the expressed purpose of connecting newcomer artists and arts and culture workers to the existing arts community in Alberta. ICAI actively encourages diversity of expression and culture by creating a safe and welcoming community where newcomer and immigrant art workers with distinct cultural identities feel confident to share their work in a new environment.
