American Abstract Artists

American Abstract Artists is a democratic artist-run organization founded in 1936 in New York City to promote and foster understanding of abstract and non-objective art.

AAA organizes exhibitions, produces member print portfolios and catalogs. It provides a forum to discuss and expand ideas about abstract art by hosting critical panels and symposia, and publishing the American Abstract Artists Journal. AAA distributes its published materials internationally to cultural organizations and documents its member history in the Smithsonian Archives of American Art.
