Made up of regional committees of artists, scholars, and philanthropists, throughout the Americas, and headed by Ken Hudson, Artist of the Americas, ALSA selects emerging artists from representative nations to act as local arts ambassadors. The appointment mandates each selected artist to devote themselves to creating a program which promote arts education, literacy, and participation. This work is completed without compensation.

In the past artists have chosen the range activities to fulfill this important mandate. Some past projects have included community gardens, speaking engagements, murals and public art, arts workshops, plays and theatrical work, gallery exhibitions, and many other manifestations.

The Arts and Letters Society of the Americas aims to harness the energy of up-and-coming artists and direct those energies toward helping others understand the joy of creating and the lasting value of art.
