International Arts & Artists (IA&A) is an international, nonprofit arts service organization based in Washington, D.C., United States that is "dedicated to increasing cross-cultural understanding and exposure to the arts internationally" according to its mission statement.

IA&A helps museums, foundations, and private collectors share and exchange a diverse range of art through traveling exhibition services. IA&A is a sponsor for J-1 visas to individuals across the arts industries through their cultural exchange training programs, professional development, and exhibition services. IA&A owns and operates IA&A at Hillyer, a contemporary art space in Dupont Circle, Washington DC.

On view in IA&A's Washington office are select works from Tools as Art: The Hechinger Collection. Consisting of over 350 works of art, the collection was donated in its entirety to IA&A in 2003 by John S. Hechinger, founder of the Hechinger Company.
