Join [New York Adventure Club](http://www.nyadventureclub.com/ "http://www.nyadventureclub.com/") for a captivating in-person lecture inside Cast Hall at the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art (ICAA), a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the practice and appreciation of classical design in architecture, urbanism, and the allied arts.
