The Institute of Classical Architecture & Classical America - Charlotte Chapter

The Institute of Classical Architecture & Classical America (ICA&CA) is the leading national nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the practice and appreciation of the classical tradition in architecture and the allied arts.

ICA&CA fulfills its mission through four program areas: education, publications, awards, and advocacy.

Educaton: ICA&CA provides a forum and comprehensive educational resource for students, design and building professionals, and the general public, both in the United States and in Europe.

· Academic Programs include continuing education courses, study tours on classical architecture, and an intensive six-week summer study program;

· Public Education Programs include lecture and salon series, exhibits, walking and travel tours, and conferences on classical architecture and the allied arts.

Publications: ICA&CA publishes an annual journal, "The Classicist," and new and reprinted books on classical design through the Classical America Series in Art and Architecture.

Awards: Through the annual Arthur Ross Awards ceremony, ICA&CA recognizes excellence by honoring the achievements and contributions of architects, painters, sculptors, artisans, landscape designers, patrons, and others in preserving and advancing the classical tradition. And through the Rieger-Graham Prize competition rewards students with the opportunity to study abroad.

Advocacy: ICA&CA maintains a strong ‘voice’ in the public domain, championing the continuation of the classical tradition as a vital cultural resource.
