Highlights
The American Academy of Arts and
Letters is the progeny
of the 1976 merger between the National Institute of Arts &
Letters and the American Academy of Arts & Letters. The
Academy's permanent collection consists of works by its
members, among them Mark Twain, Woodrow Wilson, Augustus Saint-Gaudens
and Eugene O'Neill. The permanent collection is open to scholars by
appointment. The Academy's exhibition schedule is based on
its membership cycle. Candidates are invited to show in a March
exhibit; the May exhibit features works of new members. In the fall,
the Academy exhibits works it has purchased for donation
to museums and occasionally mounts exhibits
including works from its permanent collection
