American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters

The National Institute of Arts and Letters (founded 1898) and the American Academy of Arts and Letters (founded 1904) merged in 1976 to form the present organization. Members are elected annually from the fields of art, literature, and music and include painters, sculptors, print-makers, composers, novelists, poets, historians, biographers, critics, playwrights, architects, and essayists. Honorary members include artists from foreign countries as well as American dancers, photographers, publishers, and others not included in the categories of art, literature, and music. The American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters works to promote these pursuits by giving awards and prizes, and by presenting exhibits, readings, and concerts.
