The Art through Architecture "Art Achievement" program is based on the premise that art enriches architectural projects; that clients, architects, and artists benefit from knowing and working with one another; and that including art and artists in new architectural projects will generate greater attention for the project, the architect, and the client.

AtA will work aggressively with architects and clients to pursue recognition for Art Achievement projects of all scales and scopes. Components include the generation and distribution of press releases to art, architecture, and business media; promotion of Art Achievement projects on the AtA, AiA-KC, and CSF websites and through AiA-KC and CSF email newsletters; and assistance coordinating events/site-visits to promote completed Art Achievement projects. In addition, both the client and architect for each Art Achievement project will receive a plaque for public display, recognizing the specific project and Art Achievement level, as well as a digital Art Achievement logo for promotional use.
