History: The Canadian Aviation Artists' Association (CAAA) was established in 1996, in response to a recognized need by artists and enthusiasts interested in aviation art, to form a group to advance the quality and appreciation of this growing art form. Since that time, the group has grown into a mature organization with semi-independent regional groups spread across Canada. The CAAA includes the majority of working aviation artists in Canada. It also includes a number of museums, galleries, collectors, historians and aviation firms in its membership. Several of the foremost aviation artists in the United States and Britain are also CAAA members. In 2002 the CAAA was awarded the prestigous "Belt of Orion" award by Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame for services rendered to the cause of Canadian aviation history.
