The ICA&CA offers several study abroad programs beginning with our classic Rome Drawing Tour and its affiliated Edward Vason Jones Scholarship, generously supported by ICA&CA Fellow William Bates III, to assist architects and artists that have never been to the Eternal City. The next Rome tour is scheduled for 2009.
The ICA&CA is pleased to again offer a classical architecture study program and drawing tour centered in Rome. Led by experienced faculty of the Institute and following the great tradition of Grand Tour travel, the program will include side trips to the ancient sites situated in Tivoli, Caprarola, Lazio and Ovieto. Open to both architects and artists, the program will offer instruction in Italian art and architecture history and opportunities for the observation and representation of classical architecture, with the aim of providing tour participants at all levels with practical knowledge of the classical tradition as manifested in Rome.

Tour highlights include Ancient and Renaissance Rome, the sublime Hadrian’s Villa, Tivoli and the magnificent gardens of the Villa d’Este and Rome’s great collections (Villa Borghese & Doria Pamphili). Travel arrangements to Italy are the responsibility of the participant. A tuition deposit, due by March 15, is required along with a registration form to hold a place in the program.
