As of January 1, 2011, ICA debuted a new structure designed to more fully serve our membership. In response to numerous requests for personalized, on-site services, we have developed a new set of options from which current members may select annually. Membership in the ICA is open to all organizations interested in conservation and preservation. It is one of a number of ways to support the ICA, America’s oldest regional art conservation center.
