National Civic Art Society

The National Civic Art Society is a conservative nonprofit organization that advocates and promotes public art and architecture in the classical tradition and opposes the inclusion of contemporary and traditional (non-European) architectural styles. The society has various regional chapters that host local events and outreach. The Society is headquartered in Washington, D.C.[1][2][3][4][5] The society has been active in discussions regarding memorials in Washington, D.C. and the rebuilding of the original Penn Station in New York City.[6][7][8]
