There are quite a lot actually, even if we ignore engines and frameworks (though some of them are quite low level). Some of the biggest are Silk.NET, Vortice.Windows, SharpDX (the last one is dead but it still should work well).

In C#, that means you'll need something like Vortice.Windows or Silk.NET. If you just want WIC (and not a bunch of DirectX stuff, there's also a plain old WIC interop library. And if you don't mind a well-tested, yet end-of-life library, there's SharpDX.
