Our leadership is a united force of seasoned visionaries in cultural exchange and global arts. With deep roots in diplomacy and creative stewardship, they guide our mission to elevate American art on the world stage.

A Note from the Executive Director

At The American Arts Conservancy, we understand that the strength of a nation is reflected in the art it preserves, elevates, and shares with the world. In our work—whether restoring a historic canvas, exhibiting in an embassy abroad, or empowering the next generation of cultural ambassadors—we carry forward the legacy of American artistic excellence.

This mission could not exist without visionary leadership. I am profoundly grateful to our Board of Directors and National Council members, whose commitment, generosity, and values guide this institution with clarity and resolve. Their stewardship ensures that the work we do is not only possible—but meaningful, enduring, and nationally relevant.

Together—with your partnership—we safeguard the voice of American art across borders and generations.

With gratitude,

Jenni Parido
