About[edit]
Established in 1964, the International Council of Fine Arts Deans (ICFAD) is an organization comprised of deans, associate and assistant deans, directors and chairs, and other executives involved in fine arts across higher education, both in North America and globally.[1] ICFAD explores diverse challenges and opportunities within the realms of leadership, administration, and the disciplines of fine arts and design. The International Council of Fine Arts Deans (ICFAD) is a vehicle through which members share information and ideas that enhance the leadership of arts units. The ICFAD membership is comprised of over 400 arts deans throughout North America and around the world. ICFAD focuses exclusively on issues that impact all creative units in higher education including fine and performing arts, arts education, art history, architecture and communication.[2]
According to the Union of International Association, "As an alliance of arts administrators representing institutions of higher education, provide leadership in arts education and a forum for the exchange of ideas and information; foster the highest standards in the professional, encouraging global understanding and cooperation, providing services to its members and offering leadership for the arts in society."[3] ICFAD is a member of Americans for the Arts.[4]
History[edit]
The International Council of Fine Arts Deans (ICFAD) originated in September 1963 during the National Council of Arts in Education (NCAIE) meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with seven deans recognizing the need for an organization representing fine arts administrators. Initially named the National Council of Fine Arts Deans (NCFAD), the organization formalized its rules in 1964 during the NCAIE meeting in Oberlin, Ohio.[5]
In 1967, the organization adopted the name International Council of Fine Arts Deans to reflect its commitment to international collaboration. Over the years, ICFAD expanded its global focus, hosting conferences outside the United States and collaborating with international organizations. Currently, 11% of its members represent institutions from North America, Europe, the Middle East, and the Pacific Basin.
Until 1978, ICFAD operated informally, but in 1979, it adopted a new organizational structure with elected officers and gained nonprofit status. In the 1980s, ICFAD experienced growth, and in 2006, the Board of Directors redefined its mission to focus on "Arts Deans Helping Deans." This shift led to a significant increase in membership by approximately 27% (around 400 members) in two years.[6]
In October 1990, the International Council of Fine Arts Deans (ICFAD) directed its Arts in Education Committee to formulate principles for prospective college students. This booklet aims to spark discussions on standards, frameworks, goals, and initiatives linked to K-12 arts education programs. Additionally, it offers guidance for ongoing preparation of students in arts education teacher preparation programs. The document delves into the distinct considerations for visual arts, music, dance, and theatre, providing examples of the expected knowledge, skills, and abilities for students in each discipline.[7]
Through creative and collaborative efforts in facing the challenges of 2020, ICFAD achieved financial stability and enhanced member benefits. ICFAD serves as a communication and education hub, keeping members informed and educated about current issues and topics in higher education Arts administration in the United States and globally. Regular email updates, the website, online programming, a discussion forum, and national conferences form the core channels of communication, ensuring members stay informed about initiatives, resolutions, and emerging trends in the Arts.[8]
Board Members[edit]
Members of the Board of Directors serve as representatives of the membership, assuring that the organization runs in accordance with the agreed upon mission, policies and laws of the membership.[9] This diverse Board is meant to guide ICFAD through its mission of promoting arts leadership, activism, and advocacy in higher education.
