The National Arts Program Foundation

Showcasing the artist within

Join the Program

The National Arts Program exhibitions are part of the solution to this crisis of priorities. We need to continue to plant seeds for the future, to promote art education, and to ensure that more people are exposed and nurtured in the arts, so the next generation of Americans does not have to deal with the question: why is art important?

As always, it has been a true pleasure working with the NAP this year. The experience has been smooth, efficient, and collaborative, making it an exceptionally positive partnership. Additionally, the improved NAP site is truly impressive, it has streamlined processes, saved valuable time, and further enhanced the user experience. Thank you for your continued excellence and commitment. I look forward to another successful year together!

About the National Arts Program

At the National Arts Program, we empower organizations across the country to host art exhibitions that showcase the creativity of their employees and families.

By fostering a strong and inclusive community that builds confidence, encourages risk-taking, and values self-expression, we grow and strengthen workplaces and communities. We ensure that creativity is recognized and validated, sometimes for the first time, with prizes, scholarships, and awards programs.
