The American Tonalist Society is an organization that promotes the art movement called Tonalism and tonalist artworks by our signature artists. Our mission is to recognize, promote and showcase the current tonalist movement, and to continue the tradition of the American Tonalists of the 1800s through exhibitions and catalogues.
