Membership is subject to approval by the Board of Directors after consultation with the entire membership.

ADAC carefully selects dealers committed to the profession, dealers in fine art who have earned an outstanding reputation in their communities for integrity and expert knowledge. ADAC selects dealers who make a substantial contribution to their communities, not only through offering art of high aesthetic quality or historical importance, but also through educating their clients by providing accurate information regarding artists and art works.

Members of ADAC pledge to maintain high standards of knowledge, ability, ethical conduct and professional integrity. We are committed to the mastery of all knowledge essential to serving the public with competence and distinction.

We regard membership in the Association as a badge of honor, a pledge that merits the trust of all with whom we deal.
