Founded in 1952, the Intermuseum Conservation Association (ICA) is the
nation’s oldest non-profit regional fine art conservation center.
Based in Cleveland, Ohio, the ICA serves the general public and a broad
membership of arts and cultural institutions, non-profit organizations,
government agencies, and corporate and private collectors. The
center provides a range of conservation and preservation treatments for
materials including paintings, murals, works on paper such as photographs
and books, objects of all media, outdoor sculpture, monuments, and
textiles. The organization received its 501(c)(3) status in 1954,
and remains the only non-profit art conservation treatment and education
facility in the lower Midwest.
