The American Federation of Arts is a nonprofit organization based in New York City, founded in 1909 to advance the visual arts. It organizes and tours art exhibitions for presentation in museums around the world, enabling wider access to curated artworks beyond single institutions. In addition to exhibitions, the organization publishes exhibition catalogs featuring scholarly research and develops accompanying educational programs. Its primary audience comprises museums and cultural institutions seeking traveling exhibitions and related scholarly resources. The AFA collaborates with partner institutions to mount internationally touring shows and deliver educational initiatives within the broader museum field. A recent development includes a partnership with the Bata Shoe Museum to co-host Future Now: Virtual Sneakers to Cutting-Edge Kicks, expanding the scope of its collaborative programs.
