American Abstract Artists (AAA) was founded in 1937[2][3][4][5][6] in New York City, to promote and foster public understanding of abstract art. American Abstract Artists exhibitions, publications, and lectures helped to establish the organization as a major forum for the exchange and discussion of ideas, and for presenting abstract art to a broader public. The American Abstract Artists group contributed to the development and acceptance of abstract art in the United States and has a historic role in its avant-garde.[7] It is one of the few artists’ organizations to survive from the Great Depression and continue into the 21st century.
