ICA, founded in Oberlin in 1952, was the nation’s first nonprofit regional art conservation center
ICA is a full-service art conservation lab with all four conservation specialties: paintings and frames; works on paper; textiles, and objects. Our conservators are benchwork specialists who love what they do and enjoy talking to those who care for collections. ICA is a unique arts, culture, and education nonprofit that provides access to conservation expertise, knowledge, and skill for all stewards of material culture through services and programs.
As an educational nonprofit, ICA works with arts, culture, education, history, neighborhood, public, and private partners to make our communities stronger and more successful by educating about material culture and sharing the means to preserve works of art and other cultural treasures for people today and for future generations.
Our mission: ICA Protects, Preserves, and Enriches our shared heritage of art and material culture through conservation, advocacy, and education.
And we are grateful to our funders who enable us to do our work:
