The College Art Association of America (CAA) is the principal organization in the United States for professionals in the visual arts, from students to art historians to emeritus faculty. Founded in 1911, it "promotes these arts and their understanding through advocacy, intellectual engagement, and a commitment to the diversity of practices and practitioners."[2] CAA currently has individual members across the United States and internationally; and institutional members, such as libraries, academic departments, and museums located in the United States. The organization's programs, standards[3] and guidelines,[4] advocacy,[5][6] intellectual engagement,[7] and commitment to the diversity of practices and practitioners,[8][9] align with its broad and diverse membership.
CAA publishes several academic journals, including The Art Bulletin, one of the foremost journals for art historians in English, and Art Journal, a quarterly journal devoted to twentieth- and twenty-first-century art and visual culture. The association also publishes two digital publications, caa.reviews, which is devoted to the peer review of new books and exhibitions relevant to the fields of art, art history, and architecture, and Art Journal Open, a forum for the visual arts that presents artists’ projects, conversations and interviews, and scholarly essays from across the cultural field.
CAA runs several programs to support and address issues in the visual arts field. These include the CAA-Getty International Program,[10] Fair Use,[11]CAA Conversations Podcast series,[12] and RAAMP, Resources for Academic Art Museum Professionals.[13]
