MEMBERSHIP

Membership in the Allied Artists of America, Inc. is by invitation only. Each year, it is the task of the Membership Committee to select a limited number of candidates, usually from artists participating in the Annual Exhibition and , on the basis of well established achievement, propose them to the Board of Directors for membership. Final decision can only be made by the Officers and Board of Directors.

Associate Membership Information

One of the contributing factors which led a small group of artists to organize The Allied Artists of America, Inc. in 1914, was the need to make available to an increasing number of American artists greater opportunities to exhibit their work in New York City. From this initial beginning The Allied Artists of America has become one of the most prestigious art organizations on the contemporary American art scene.

The Associate Member plays a very important role in the functioning structure of AAA by taking an active part in the affairs of the Society. He or she is invited to attend the Annual Meeting when their guidance in the operational field may be sought. An Associate Member may hold the office of Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer and in this elective office his or her voice and vote on the Board are of much importance. An Associate Member who paints or sculpts may submit work for exhibition to Juries of Selection without paying an entry fee. Invitations to the private opening of the Annual Exhibitions and copies of the AAA Newsletter will be sent to the Associate Member by the Society. The Associate Membership card allows free admittance to the demonstrations.

The Associate Member’s dues of $40.00 a year assists in furthering the goals of AAA and enables the Society to offer increased awards at the Annuals. Associate Members are listed in the catalog, which they receive without charge. You can help us advance American art by your participation in the Society as an Associate Member.

Please note: Your dues covers from January 1 through December 31. Dues cards are mailed in January and should be mailed together with your payment.
