[19] The Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (ICA LA) and the Hammer Museum jointly hosted the exhibition Witch Hunt leading up to the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
Organized by the institutions' respective curators, Connie Butler and Ellegood, the exhibition includes fifteen mid-career women artists.
[20][21] The ARTnews reviewer found: "Using the witch hunt as a framework... [the curators] implied that there is something witchy about the women artists represented here, that they may bring to light certain truths that could trigger mobs.
[22][23] Following the retirement of executive director Elsa Longhauser, the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, appointed Ellegood to lead the museum in 2019.
[4] Museum administrators and curators Apsara DiQuinzio, Rita Gonzalez and Ellegood were noted to be part of a "core group" in the development of the Feminist Art Coalition, which was announced in late 2019.
[24] In 2024, the museum announced plans to purchase its building in the Arts District and an expansion which would include a café and space and studios for its artists-in-residence.
