American Academy of Arts and Letters
The American Academy of Arts and Letters is an honor society of 250 architects, composers, artists, and writers. Members of the Academy are elected for life and pay no dues. As vacancies occur, the Academicians nominate and elect new members. The honor of election is considered the highest formal recognition of artistic merit in the United States. The Academy's purpose is to foster and sustain an interest in Literature, Music, and the Fine Arts by identifying and encouraging individual artists. This is done by administering awards and prizes, exhibiting art and manuscripts, funding stage readings and performances of new works, and purchasing works of art to be donated to museums.

Art Profolio Storage/Display Book

by Itoya

(84 Reviews)

I've used these for years for my afterschool art classes, and I currently have about 80 students. The kids are so proud to show off their art when the books are filled! They also love coloring on the plastic cover with metallic markers. Best investment ever!

Aquarelle Watercolor Block

by Arches

(16 Reviews)

My favorite watercolor paper without exception. Easy to use strong and a beautiful texture. I use it for both watercolors and pen and ink. Mr. Art has by far the best price I've seen. Another big plus: Mr. Art ships it properly packed so it arrives without dinged corners. I have never received anything from Mr. Art that was damaged in shipping.
