ACBA is the nation’s only nonprofit, four-year college that integrates a core liberal arts
curriculum with rigorous training in the traditional building arts. Our graduates not
only know how to perform their trade expertly, they also are educated to think
critically and understand the context of a society’s built environment within a larger
worldview. Since the time of the pyramids, our built environment has reflected our
values and accomplishments as a society. Therefore it is important that we take care
in shaping that which in turn shapes us.

FY 2017-2018 Annual Donor Report Educating Artisans
Part of ACBA’s mission is to expose its students and the public to national
thought-leaders in the traditional building arts. In September J. Thomas Savage,
Director of Museum Affairs at Winterthur, kicked off this year’s Mary Scott
Guest Lecture Series which focuses on “The American South’s Decorative Arts
and Material Culture.” We hope you can join us for the remaining lectures
which are free and open to the public though donations of any amount to
ACBA’s General Scholarship fund are appreciated and assure you of reserved
seating to sold-out events.
