Founded in 1993, the Association of Historians of Nineteenth-Century Art is a community of scholars and students of nineteenth-century art, broadly defined with regard to medium and geographic boundaries. AHNCA's goal is to foster dialogue and communication among those who have a special interest in the field of nineteenth-century art and culture.

n.b. Nineteenth-century art is broadly defined as all art that was produced between the American Revolution and the First World War, regardless of geographic boundaries.

AHNCA is an affiliated society of the CAA and as such organizes a regularly scheduled session at each CAA annual conference as well as an annual graduate student symposium. AHNCA holds a business meeting at each CAA conference. Throughout the year, AHNCA organizes online scholarly events. Members have access to the recordings of these events, and they receive two annual newsletters as well as access to the online membership directory. Join us!
