About The National Academy:
Integrating a museum, an art school and an honorary association of artists and architects, the Academy is dedicated to creating and advancing a living history of American art. The Academy’s inception in 1825 represented a defining moment for American art. Its founders – including Samuel F. B. Morse, Thomas Cole and Asher B. Durand – were well aware of America’s dependency on the European artistic tradition and the country’s lack of venues for the exhibition or instruction of art. With the founding of the National Academy, their ambitious desire to establish an institution that would serve American visual culture became a reality.
Today, the National Academy envisions its original mission of exhibition and education through a contemporary lens. It is a continually evolving testament to the transformative power of art where tradition is celebrated and new visionaries embraced, connecting the past, present and future of American art and architecture.
