About The Art

The Allied Artists of America, founded in New York City in 1914, celebrated their 111th Annual Exhibition in 2024. Artists from around the world enter this competition. The online exhibition opened September 1, 2024: View online exhibition here

Award winners are invited to display their winning work at the Butler Institute as well as attend a private awards reception on Saturday, October 26 from 1-3pm. Artists from around the world will have works displayed.

One hundred works were selected by the Juror of Awards; Peter Trippi, Editor-in-Chief, Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine and Gabriela G. Dellosso, President of Allied Artists of America.

“Allied is unique from many other art organizations,” says AAA President Gabriela Gonzalez Dellosso. “We pride ourselves on presenting a variety of styles, ranging from realist to abstract styles. We allow traditional media, like oil, acrylic, watercolor, graphics, and sculpture. We also allow mixed media which includes non-traditional medium like collage.” Dellosso adds that there was an extremely high caliber of submissions this year.

Director, Dr. Louis Zona says: “One of the great annual exhibitions hosted by the Butler is the exhibition of Allied Artist of America. The exhibition features many of the greatest living artists and presents a wonderful survey of the status of art today. The quality of work in the Allied Artist exhibition makes this special showing a “must see” exhibit.

This exhibition will be on view in the MacIntosh, Finnegan/Hynes on the second floor of the Butler.
