The National Academy houses one of the largest public collections of 19th and 20th century American art in the United States. Its fundamental mission to promote American art through exhibitions and education has never changed, and the institution, now referred to as the National Academy Museum and School of Fine Arts, has held its annual exhibition every year since 1826. The School of Fine Arts has operated almost without interruption since that date, and reflecting the ever-changing character of American art, new artists are elected to membership every year.
