The mission of the Academy is to establish a standard of excellence in the field of equestrian art, and to broaden public recognition of equestrian painting and sculpture through education, demonstration, exhibition and critique.
Since its inception, it has been mounting exhibitions of equestrian art, and in 1992, collaboration with The Kentucky Horse Park enabled the organization to offer workshops in its various disciplines, and to put on shows at the same facility. Additionally, the AAEA holds national touring exhibits at various art museums across the country. The address of the Academy is P. O. Box 1315, Middleburg, VA 20118
