 THE COLLECTOR’S GUIDE: NATIONAL ART ASSOCIATIONS AND SOCIETIES
While it is no longer a widespread practice for artists to add the initials of art associations to which they belong to their signatures, earlier artists proudly placed initials after their names to call attention to the exclusive societies that offered them membership.
Therefore, artists today do include the names of associations and societies of which they are members in their resumes and biographies.
It is usually more difficult for an artist to become a member of a national art society or association, since the sheer number of people applying for membership is greater than that of a regional or local group.
