Friends of American Art (FAA) is a collecting circle founded in 1993 by dedicated individuals who aim to enrich the Orlando Museum of Art’s permanent collection of traditional American Art. The acquisitions made by FAA have laid a historic foundation for the overall collection, offering a lasting resource for the enjoyment and education of the museum’s visitors. As of 2023, FAA has acquired 12 works of art for OMA.
