On the Grid : UICA

"The Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts is a great experience for cinephiles and the art house cinema crowd. The underground theater offers reasonably priced concessions, dinner/movie specials and free gallery admission with each movie ticket purchase." - Carnevale

I personally enjoyed the UICA but a few of the people I went with did not like it as much as I did. The staff were friendly and the facility was organized. The criticism from my friends could be summed up as “boring” and that the space could be used a bit more wisely. This is the only reason for my 4 stars. However, when it comes to art there are always going to be opposing opinions. I would recommend the UICA to those who enjoy interesting art pieces.

Loved it here. Amazing, contemporary facility with an architectural design that feels like an upscale big-city gallery. Friendly, awesome staff and lots to do and see at every turn

Came here for the first time (outside of ArtPrize) when I had some time to kill and it was a very delightful experience! There is a lot to see and take in. The museum is quiet and relaxing and the art isn't overwhelming, so you have time to enjoy every work.

Small place, not much to see, just one exhibit. Free.

Support this venue! I love coming here for all of the odd or independent movies that the Loeks theaters either don't get, or don't host for very long. The staff is always very kind, and the gift shop here is full of really unique gifts. The exhibits here are exciting, and the environment is always serene. I love this place, please opt to see your indie films here, or be brave & check out one you've never heard of!

The is an incredible art gallery/movie theater combo. The interior aesthetic is very clean, simple and modern. The curators are never short on interesting, contemporary installations meant to provoke thought and conversation. The staff is very friendly and welcoming to art enthusiasts new and old. The theater is truly a treasure. It's quiet, well lit and has excellent sound quality. Add fair prices and the comfiest seats in GR and you have an unparalleled movie-going experience; under the radar (and underground - literally!) but definitely worth checking out!

Absolutely amazing place. The staff here are phenomenal and completely accommodating, not to mention they never make you feel like an outlier in the museum, offering to explain various exhibits and make visitors as comfortable as possible. Not just that, the movies here are always entertaining, interesting, and wonderfully artistic.

This space is so cool! You do not want to miss stopping in to check out the exhibits, indie films, and of course gift shop! The schedule of films is always interesting and the theater is comfortable with great concessions. The staff at the UICA are always inviting, friendly, and very informative in regards to the current exhibition.
