American Academy of Arts and Letters
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.

These markers are amazing! They work well on a variety of surfaces and the colors are vibrant.
- Jane Smith in New York, NY
I have used several other brands of 4B,6B, and 8B woodless graphite pencils and this brand is far superior to the others that I have used. I teach drawing to about 700 to 1000 elementary school children each year. I use these pencils exclusively! We all love them! They are super-smugable and with my many art lessons on YouTube : "art with Jim Freeheart" I show Kids and adults how to draw Waves, Clouds and animals etc. I appreciate that you carry this wonderful quality product!
