ON MAY 5, 2008, the ICA&CA celebrated the 27th Anniversary of the Arthur Ross Awards for Excellence in the Classical Tradition at the University Club in New York. Close to 400 people gathered to recognize this year’s winners and to pay tribute to the ICA&CA’s late and beloved co-founder, Arthur Ross. His leadership, generosity and wise counsel set a guiding standard for the Institute for years to come. The event drew ICA&CA friends and ‘family’ in celebration of classical work past, present and future. The evening began with Alan Greenberg, this year’s jury chair with Anne Fairfax, ICA&CA chair, presenting this year’s winners with their awards:

Next Richard Cameron presented Alvin Holm,AIA with the Board of Directors’ Honor – an architectural model made by Timothy Richards – for his long dedication to the Institute as an educator, board member, chapter president, friend and supporter.
