About the National Arts Program

Every year, the National Arts Program partners with more than 80 venues across 30+ states to bring workplace exhibitions to life—celebrating the creativity of employees and their families. Through funding, guidance, cash prizes, and a dynamic online gallery, we support each venue in building meaningful, inclusive arts experiences. As the only national nonprofit dedicated to this mission, we transform people and places by elevating and showcasing individual creativity.

Creativity is universal, but its expression is deeply personal. When individuals are given the space to share their creativity—and it is acknowledged and celebrated—it fosters pride, strengthens connection, and affirms both identity and talent.

If you have 3,500 employees or more you are eligible to host a National Arts Program exhibit at your workplace. Please contact us via the Join the Program form and we will send you details under no obligation.

NOTE: Other than the awards and continuing art education scholarships associated with our program, it does not issue grants to nor does it give specific support to individual artists, or other art agencies, foundations, or programs. The National Arts Program Foundation reserves the right to publish for publicity purposes reproductions of artwork entries. The National Arts Program organizes public exhibits and photographing/filming the exhibits is encouraged.
