WHY SPONSOR THE ICA&CA?
The ICA&CA provides learning opportunities for the architect, designer or manufacturer of classical or traditional building components, like no other organization. Involvement with the Institute provides access to ICA&CA programs, valuable networking opportunities, and potential for recognition of your firm’s work.
“As builders, we partner with professionals and artisans who continually refine their ideas and trades. Taconic’s involvement with the Institute and our sponsorship of its programs expands our network of talented partners worldwide and, more importantly, furthers the education and apprenticeship of students and colleagues.”
— Nick Stern, Taconic Builders, Inc.
“It has been a pleasure to be a resolute supporter since the Institute’s inception. With such profound success at hand, one might think their continued support gratuitous, yet I now have an even greater sense of commitment, having witnessed the Institute’s phenomenal growth and evolution. Viewed as an “investment,” I couldn’t be more pleased with its continual maturation.”
— Rhett Butler, E.R. Butler & Co.
“I am a proud sponsor of the ICA&CA, and count myself fortunate to have participated as a student in the academic programs. As a result, I have been able to apply my expanded knowledge of classicism to my work, which has been extremely rewarding. The importance of the Institute’s educational mission and the community it fosters grows daily, and I am very glad it is part of my life.”
— Sarah Blank, SBD Kitchens LLC
