ART in legacy

What We Support

Art in Legacy is The American Arts Conservancy’s commitment to recordkeeping, archiving, and institutional memory. This pillar ensures that the impact of American artists—and AAC’s role in advancing their global presence—is preserved with care, clarity, and purpose.

We maintain a living record of exhibitions, programs, partnerships, and cultural moments that define our mission. Through thoughtful documentation, visual archives, and ongoing stewardship, we safeguard the legacy not only of the art itself, but of the people, places, and ideas that bring it to life.
