IN CASE YOU MISSED IT...
The ICMA is committed to social justice; read our Statement of Solidarity and Action. We initiated a Diversity Working Group, which will hold a Town Hall Meeting in November. The New Initiatives Working Group is planning for the upcoming year on ways to increase medieval art's presence and inclusiveness.
The Advocacy Committee evaluates concerns of the ICMA Community, including the ICMA Mentoring Intiative.
By vote of its members, the ICMA updated its mission statement to include "every corner of the medieval world." We invite multiplicities into every aspect of ICMA's activities as a guiding principle.
The ICMA created a Teaching Resources and Tips page to help navigate new ways of teaching. Included on this page is the Online Resources for Teaching Art History and Teaching a Global Middle Ages. We also have other digital offerings, including information on Education and Careers.
Our Programs and Lectures Committee sponsors ICMA sessions and Keynote Lectures at the College Art Association Annual Conference, Association for Art History Annual Conference, International Congress on Medieval Studies Kalamazoo, International Medieval Congress Leeds, Forum Kunst Des Mittelalters, Canadian Conference of Medieval Art Historians, Andrew Ladis Trecento Conference, and St. Louis Annual Symposium on Medieval and Renaissance Studies. If presenting at one of our sponsored sessions, members are eligible for the ICMA-Kress Travel Grants.
The ICMA sponsors the Annual Book Prize, awarding 1,000 USD to best book!
The Grants and Awards Committee sponsors several programs: ICMA-Kress Research and Publications Grant, ICMA-Kress Exhibition Development Grant, Student Travel Grant, Student Essay Grant. Additionally, the ICMA is a nominating body for the Whiting Foundation Public Engagement Grants.

The ICMA newsletter, ICMA News, is published three times a year and contains up-to-date information concerning the activities of the ICMA, as well as articles about current events and issues in medieval art history. You can read it here - we've made it available to all!
