Benefits and Resources

Education                                                                  

The Southeast Chapter plays a critical role in keeping the classical tradition alive through its educational programs.  ICA&CA seeks to advance lessons from past design as a guide to creating meaningful architecture and art for the twenty-first century.  Since no educational institution in the region teaches the principles of classical design in architecture, the organization helps fill this void.  Members have the opportunity to continue their education through lectures, CEU programs, salons, and travel programs and conferences in the United States and Europe.

Publications

ICA&CA Publications offer a range of topics and information to its members and the public about the classical tradition in architecture, art and design. 

The Classicist – ICA&CA’s annual journal

The Classical America Series in Art and Architecture - the leading text used by higher educational institutions nationwide

The Forum – the member newsletter

www.classicist.blogs.com – the organization’s blog

E-newsletters – updates about local and national events

Awards

Soon after its founding, the Southeast Chapter created the first regional awards program to recognize the finest practitioners of classical architectural, interior and landscape design in the Southeast.  The award is named for Atlanta architect Philip Trammell Shutze, revered internationally as one of the twentieth century’s most devoted classicists and the first recipient of the Arthur Ross Award, awarded annually by the national organization since 1982. 

Advocacy

By maintaining a strong voice in the public domain, ICA&CA advocates the preservation of classicism and historic architecture as vital cultural resources.  The organization also plays an important role through its continued support and preservation of programs of study dedicated to training future architects and designers in classicism.

Your Philanthropic Support

Beyond membership, the Southeast Chapter relies on the generous support of individual and corporate sponsors.  Through its annual fundraising efforts, the chapter is able to enhance its honorarium and program budget so the chapter is able to offer exceptional educational events featuring nationally recognized speakers. The Shutze Awards also are possible through the chapter’s corporate sponsorship program. 

Please consider making a gift today so the chapter can continue to offer outstanding programs to it members and the community. Announcements for the kick-off of our Annual Campaign coming soon.
