We know it's been a stressful and uncertain year, but the International Center of Medieval Art (ICMA) continues to bring its members benefits and support to navigate these challenging times. By renewing your 2021 ICMA membership, you'll be helping the ICMA bring timely, meaningful programming to its members. Your membership supports the future of medieval art and architecture studies!
The ICMA is an inclusive organization with members around the globe. We invite anyone with an interest in the art and architecture of the Middle Ages to join, including but not limited to students, teachers of any rank at any institution (elementary, secondary, college, university), independent scholars, curators, librarians, art dealers, and collectors. The ICMA's core mission is to enable appreciation, study, and preservation of visual and material cultures from every corner of the medieval world.
Will you help us?

In case you missed it...
The ICMA is committed to social justice; read our Statement of Solidarity and Action. We initiated a Diversity Working Group, which will hold a Town Hall Meeting in November. The New Initiatives Working Group is planning for the upcoming year on ways to increase medieval art's presence and inclusiveness.
The Advocacy Committee evaluates concerns of the ICMA Community, including the ICMA Mentoring Intiative.
By vote of its members, the ICMA updated its mission statement to include "every corner of the medieval world." We invite multiplicities into every aspect of ICMA's activities as a guiding principle.
The ICMA created a Teaching Resources and Tips page to help navigate new ways of teaching. Included on this page is the Online Resources for Teaching Art History and Teaching a Global Middle Ages. We also have other digital offerings, including information on Education and Careers.
Our Programs and Lectures Committee sponsors ICMA sessions and Keynote Lectures at the College Art Association Annual Conference, Association for Art History Annual Conference, International Congress on Medieval Studies Kalamazoo, International Medieval Congress Leeds, Forum Kunst Des Mittelalters, Canadian Conference of Medieval Art Historians, Andrew Ladis Trecento Conference, and St. Louis Annual Symposium on Medieval and Renaissance Studies. If presenting at one of our sponsored sessions, members are eligible for the ICMA-Kress Travel Grants.
The ICMA sponsors the Annual Book Prize, awarding 1,000 USD to best book!
The Grants and Awards Committee sponsors several programs: ICMA-Kress Research and Publications Grant, ICMA-Kress Exhibition Development Grant, Student Travel Grant, Student Essay Grant. Additionally, the ICMA is a nominating body for the Whiting Foundation Public Engagement Grants.
We have a new publication, ICMA Viewpoints, which accepts proposals on an ongoing basis.
Gesta now accepts articles in English and French. Les auteurs peuvent soumettre leurs articles en anglais ou en français.
The ICMA newsletter, ICMA News, is published three times a year and contains up-to-date information concerning the activities of the ICMA, as well as articles about current events and issues in medieval art history. You can read it here - we've made it available to all!
Take a few minutes to visit www.medievalart.org and look around our newly designed website. Add your event, CFP, or other announcement to our calendar there - we'd love to include items from your part of the world!
If you have any questions, you can always email icma@medievalart.org
As always, ICMA member perks include:
Gesta is the premier scholarly journal for the history of medieval art (two issues annually) and appears in print and online for members.
Study Days and Other Special Opportunities: The ICMA has a robust schedule of Study Days, receptions, and tours held in conjunction with museum exhibitions, conferences, and other special events.
