The International Council of Fine Arts Deans (ICFAD) (d.b.a. International Council for Arts Deans) is a global organization of deans, associate and assistant deans, directors and chairs, and other arts executives leading arts and design programs in higher education.[1][2][3][4] It was founded in 1964.

Background

[edit]

The organization explores challenges and opportunities within the realms of leadership, administration, and the disciplines of arts and design. The members of ICFAD are hundreds of arts deans throughout North America and around the world.[3][4] ICFAD focuses on issues concerning creative units in higher education including fine and performing arts, design, film, arts education, art history, architecture and communication.[5][6]

History

[edit]

The organization originated in September 1963 during the National Council of Arts in Education (NCAIE) meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.[7][8] Initially named the National Council of Fine Arts Deans (NCFAD), the organization formalized its rules in 1964 during the NCAIE meeting in Oberlin, Ohio.[8]

Until 1978, ICFAD operated informally, but in 1979, it adopted a new organizational structure with elected officers and gained nonprofit status.[8][9]

Nancy Uscher, Dean of the College of Fine Arts at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, is continuing her two-year tenure as President.[10][11]
