First initiated as an independent design movement in America at the turn of the 20th century to promote the awareness of art, design and appreciation of aesthetic beauty to a rapidly growing and appreciative avant-garde art & design audience, ICIAD today officially represents the professional status quo of all art and design practitioners, including those who are not educated in art & design, but are engaged in the commercial and manufacturing sectors affiliated to this industry.

ICIAD sets the global standards for the design industry, and our members’ credentials are almost always benchmarked against the upper echelon of the practitioners of this noble industry.

Advocating the ‘renaissance’ of modern design, and constantly keeping abreast of contemporary trends, ICIAD, through its Governing Board, administers and brings to realization ICIAD’S Mission and Objectives.
