The American Foundation for the Courtauld Institute of Art (AFCIA), founded in 1985, supports the study of art history and the conservation of artworks, reflecting the Courtauld’s belief in the central role of art in human experience. Based in London at Somerset House, the Courtauld has a global reach, with many graduates from the United States going on to lead museums, galleries, and academic institutions.

AFCIA strengthens this international connection by raising the Courtauld’s profile in the U.S. and supporting its mission through events, lectures, and private visits to leading cultural institutions. These gatherings bring together a vibrant community united by a shared passion for art and the Courtauld experience.
