The purpose of the American Medallic Sculpture Association (AMSA) is to encourage the creation and study of medallic sculpture in North America. All who are interested are welcome as members. Our aim is to disseminate information and add impetus in making medallic sculpture a vital and viable art form in this country. Since its founding in 1982, AMSA has sponsored a series of programs to encourage the development of medallic art in the United States and Canada and provided opportunities for communication among artists, commissioners, producers, collectors and scholars of the medal.
