International Association of Art Critics

The International Association of Art Critics (AICA) is a global organization that brings together art critics and historians to promote and enhance the role of art criticism in the contemporary art world. Founded in 1950, AICA facilitates dialogue among its members, shares knowledge about art practices, and aims to strengthen the standards of art criticism. By hosting conferences, publishing materials, and recognizing outstanding criticism through awards, AICA plays a vital role in supporting the development of a critical discourse around art and fostering a deeper understanding of visual culture.
