Help sustain a centuries-old process

For hundreds of years, the arts have relied upon the partnership and largesse of individual, government, and corporate sponsors for the means to make artists’ works available for all to see and enjoy. This is especially true for aviation art, which links the experiences and knowledge of aviators and technical specialists with the public at large. Without sponsor support, aviation artists would not have been able to excite and inform industry and the general public to the extent that they have over the past century.

In World War II, aviation art helped focus national purpose and portrayed historic events happening far away. During the Cold War and the Space Race, aerospace art explained new technology and inspired excitement and visionary thinking to the public at large, especially students. As commercial aviation grew to an international industry, aviation art helped introduce this new transportation medium as a safe and friendly way to travel.

Patronage benefits the general public and professional community

[column col=”1/3″]Education. Aviation art documents historical events and technological achievements for all to appreciate, now and in the future. Aviation art also helps to explain the complexities of how technology functions and the complex interactions of natural and industrial processes.[/column]
[column col=”1/3″]Participation.
Aviation art translates the complex and the obscure into a language that the general public can understand and relate to. This bridge of images allows the many to share the experiences and emotions of the few who have “been there, done that.”[/column]
[column col=”1/3″]Inspiration.
The visions and excitement portrayed by aviation art have inspired many to look more closely at aerospace as a career or a pastime. Excitement about aerospace leads to a better appreciation of the vital need for better education in math, science, and technology.[/column]

 

The Founders of the ASAA understood the important contributions that aviation artists could offer to society when they established the fundamental guiding principles of the organization: Strive for artistic quality and authenticity in aviation and aerospace art. Enlighten the public on the importance of documenting aviation, aerospace history, and current events through art.
