In 2022, I became a board member of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art - Louisiana Chapter; however, I have been a member since 2017. As part of my participation, in 2021 we started a virtual lecture series that seek to educate our members and the public on classical topics in Louisiana’s classical architecture and art history. In December 2021, we hosted a lecture with guest speaker, Rick Ellis, a culinary historian, to discuss his studies on the history of dining room evolution.
Please consider becoming a member to participate in our events, meet like-minded passionate people, and continue the mission to to advance the appreciation and manifest the principles of classical and traditional architecture and its allied arts by engaging practitioners, students, educators, and architecture enthusiasts of Louisiana.
