At the ICAA, our educational programs carve a unique path for students of all ages, backgrounds, and financial means: a path that opens the doors of possibility to the world of classical design. 

As a nonprofit organization, the ICAA depends on the support of friends like you to make these programs possible. This season, we've set out to raise $85,000 by December 31st for our End of Year Campaign. 

Please make a gift today, to support the classicists of tomorrow.

This Summer, the ICAA was selected by Sotheby's as their cultural partner to produce the educational component to their New York exhibition,  Treasures from Chatsworth.

The ICAA offered a unique lecture program featuring influential talents and historians, including architect and designer Ben Pentreath, biographer and historian Dr. Amanda Foreman, former editor of Country Life Clive Aslet, and preservationist John Phibbs. Each of these lectures can now be viewed in their entirety online.


The 2019 New York Summer Series was made possible thanks to the following sponsors:
The 2019 Christopher H. Browne Paris Drawing Tour took place from October 5-12, giving students the opportunity to study the classical architecture, interiors, and landscapes of Paris through observational drawing and painting.

The program was led by prominent architect Kahlil Hamady and designer Leslie-jon Vickory, alongside renowned watercolorists, Bernd Dams and Andrew Zega. Students provided daily updates, which you can read now.

Building on the success of the 2017 and 2018 Intensives in Classical Architecture in Los Angeles, as well as the continued demand for the Intensive held annually in New York, the ICAA Northern California Chapter, in collaboration with the ICAA National Office, hosted the third Regional Intensive this fall in San Francisco.

Instructor Erik Evens recounts the eight-day program, which gave participants the chance to immerse themselves in the classical tradition, learning how to draw, identify, render, and compose with classical elements.

The ICAA's Continuing Education  calendar features a diverse range of programs across the country for professionals, students, and enthusiasts on topics in architecture and the allied arts.

The scholarship application deadline is approaching for the 2020 Intensive in Classical Architecture: New York.
