The International Association of Art Critics (Association Internationale des Critiques d’Art, AICA) was founded in 1950 to revitalize critical discourse, which suffered under Fascism during World War II. Affiliated with UNESCO AICA was admitted to the rank of non-governmental organization in 1951.

The main objectives of AICA are:

  • to promote the critical disciplines in the field of visual arts
  • to ensure their having sound methodological and ethical bases
  • to protect the ethical and professional interests of art critics by defending the rights of all members equally[1]
  • to ensure permanent communication among its members by encouraging international meetings
  • to facilitate and improve information and international exchanges in the field of visual arts
  • to contribute to the reciprocal knowledge and closer understanding of differing cultures
  • to provide collaboration with developing countries[2]
