Want to become a member of the League?
Becoming part of the AADLA means more than just earning a credential—it’s an invitation to join a trusted network of respected dealers and galleries who value scholarship, integrity, and collaboration. Members gain visibility through League-led initiatives like The League Journal and our curated digital showcases, while also staying informed on industry developments and connecting with peers across the U.S. and abroad. It’s a community built on high standards, professional support, and a shared passion for the art and antique world.
The basic requirements for membership in the Art and Antique Dealers League of America are:
1. You have operated a business in North America for at least five years;
2. Your application is sponsored by two current members and approved by a vote of the Executive Committee and General Membership;
3. Your inventory passes inspection, if deemed necessary;
4. You have not committed any act in violation of our Code of Ethics, and agree to abide by that code if granted membership.
The League maintains strict standards for membership. Each applicant must be an established dealer whose inventory is of high quality, and whose reputation for integrity and fair dealing is unimpeachable.
If you meet these requirements and would like to receive an application and additional information about the process, please contact secretary@aadla.com or marketing@aadla.com.
