James Britt Britt arrived in Philadelphia 7 months ago after spending 20 years in Chicago, working at the Art Institute as Director of Multicultural Affairs, a role similar to his role as Director of Public Engagement at ICA. He’s settling in and excited to be here, and he talks about the bubbling energy in Philadelphia’s art world and sees the potential for many opportunities.
