Headquartered in Washington, D.C., with chapters across North America and Europe, the Common Sense Society educates 21st-century generations and informs public discourse through fellowship programs, curriculum resources, publications, events, civic initiatives, and media campaigns. Enduring ideas have transformed human history for the better: "Ideas have consequences."

Founded in 2002, the National Civic Art Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Washington, D.C. that educates and empowers civic leaders in the promotion of public art and architecture worthy of our great Republic. We do this by advancing the classical tradition in architecture, urbanism, and their allied arts. Through our programs and initiatives we guide government agencies and officials; assist practitioners; and educate students and the general public in the preservation and creation of beautiful, dignified public buildings, monuments, and spaces. We are mindful of Winston Churchill’s assertion: “We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.”
