On Monday, October 4th, 2021, after a hiatus of nearly two years, the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art (ICAA) was proud to welcome guests back to the in-person 40th Annual Arthur Ross Awards. Architects, designers, artisans, builders, academics, and many more gathered together, occupying two full rooms in a private club in New York City to pay tribute to this year’s honorees: Skurman Architects (Architecture), Hyde Park Mouldings (Artisanship & Craftsmanship), Bob Christian Decorative Art (Fine Arts), Hollander Design Landscape Architects (Landscape), Charles Miers and Rizzoli New York (Publishing), John F. W. Rogers (Patronage), and Michael Lykoudis, FAIA (Board of Directors Honor).
Over 400 practitioners and enthusiasts of classical and traditional architecture and design gathered to celebrate the achievements of these seven honorees, whose life’s work has enriched the built environment, beautified landscapes and interiors, filled libraries, educated thousands of students, and preserved architectural treasures. The awards were presented in two rooms by both ICAA Board Chairman Russell Windham and ICAA Board Member Mark Ferguson.
The 2021 Arthur Ross Award winners were selected by a jury that included Bunny Williams (Chair), James Carter, Elizabeth Dillon, Anne Harris, Katherine Herman, Steele Marcous, and Gil Schafer. Co-Chairs of this year’s Arthur Ross Awards include Anthony Barnes, Nina Campbell, Steven Gambrel, and Suzanne Tucker. Honorary Chairs include Janet C. Ross, Suzanne R. Santry, the late Ambassador and Mrs. William J. vanden Heuvel, and Bunny Williams.
This past Saturday night at the Lotos Club, the Holland Society of New York held its 131st Dinner Dance. The Holland Society was founded in 1885 as a historical and genealogical society to honor and preserve the history of New Netherland, the Dutch settlement which became New York. The Holland Society annually awards a Medal for Distinguished Achievement for civic, cultural, or social contributions to New York. The Society’s 2021 medalists were Broadway actors Carolyn McCormick and Byron Jennings.
The Society welcomed 84 guests to the Dinner Dance. During the cocktail hour, Carolyn McCormick and Byron Jennings performed the balcony scene from Noel Coward’s play Private Lives, to great applause.
In advance of dinner, the traditional toasts were made. Following the toasts, the Reverend Paul Lent read the invocation. Next, Holland Society Director Sarah Cooney welcomed guests and introduced the medalists, highlighting that “theatre is an integral part of New York culture, and Carolyn McCormick and Byron Jennings are integral parts of New York theatre.” Carolyn McCormick read their acceptance speech, noting the Society’s focus on celebrating New York stories.
After dinner, Holland Society president Colonel Adrian Bogart III (Ret.) shared his plans for the Society’s future, including greater collaboration between societies that focus on the history of New York. He then introduced the long-running Holland Society tradition of the Parading of the Beaver, carried by Ethan Hasbrouck Van Ness and Jonathan Doucette.
Dancing followed dinner, with music by the Lester Lanin Orchestra. An after-party was held at the Lotos Club Grill.
