Since its founding in 1909, the American Federation of Arts has been initiating and organizing exhibitions of both critical and popular acclaim. AFA exhibitions have been presented throughout the United States, as well as in Canada, Latin America, Europe, and Asia.

The AFA's curators initiate concepts for exhibitions, select the leading scholars in the field to act as the guest curator for each project, and then, together with publications, education, and registrarial staff, organize all aspects of the exhibition and its tour, including the publication of the catalogue and the development of educational materials

Since the organization’s inception, approximately three thousand exhibitions have traveled throughout the world under its auspices.
