As an organization devoted to serving art writers and critics, we are committed to promoting and honoring excellence in emerging art critics.
At a time when the very role and value of art criticism are in question, we look for guidance and inspiration to esteemed art critic and beloved board member and friend, Irving Sandler, who has tirelessly illuminated the role of art, artists and art criticism in the 20th and 21st centuries.
AICA-USA will bestow The AICA-USA Irving Sandler Award for New Voices in Art Criticism to a emerging art critic.
