Bard professors Daniel Mendelsohn, Charles Ranlett Flint Professor of Humanities, and An-My Lê, Charles Franklin Kellogg and Grace E. Ramsey Kellogg Professor in the Arts, have been announced as newly elected 2025 members of the Academy of Arts and Letters. Mendelsohn and Lê, who are among 24 new members to join the organization in 2025, were elected in recognition of notable achievements in their fields into the departments of Literature and Art, respectively. They will be inducted into Arts and Letters during its annual ceremonial in May, where writer and member Caryl Phillips will deliver the keynote address. Founded in 1898, the American Academy of Arts and Letters is an honor society of artists, architects, composers, and writers who foster and sustain interest in the arts. Its members distribute over $1.2 million in awards annually, fund concerts and new works of musical theater, donate art to museums across the US, and present exhibitions, talks, and events for the public in New York City.
