Correct Name of Institution

In the interest of accuracy, I added the correct, current name of the institution, National Academy Museum and School of Fine Arts, though I liked the original name better. PlaysInPeoria (talk) 04:33, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Notable member

Hi, Frank Tenney Johnson was made a member in 1932. I was not sure if the requirements for notable membership is different than Wikipedia guidelines for notability re alumni so I did not add his name to the notable members section. One reference is:. I found several references available online. Please let me now if he meets the requirement & I will add his name. Thank you--BuzyBody (talk) 21:25, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

He qualifies, I'll add him to the list. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:35, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Founding Date

There seems to be an inconsistency on the founding date. The article text describes it as 1828, whereas the infobox says 1863 which appears to be when they moved into a new building. The organization definitely existed prior to 1863. So what should the "founded" date in the infobox be? Dspark76 (talk) 19:30, 10 January 2026 (UTC)

For example this reference indicates Régis François Gignoux was elected to the Academy of Design in 1851. Dspark76 (talk) 20:18, 10 January 2026 (UTC)

since the website for the organization sites its founding sate as 1825, I will update the infobox with that year. Dspark76 (talk) 00:08, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
