NAMTA: More Than 60 Years of Art Materials Leadership
The International Art Materials Association’s mission is to provide its art/creative materials industry members with the products, services and information they need to grow and prosper. The 60-year-old organization’s international membership includes retailers, suppliers, sales reps and associates. Together through their support of NAMTA, the association is recognized as a leader and unifying force in the support, sustainability and advocacy of art and the art/creative materials business.

NAMTA brings these executives together at its annual trade show and conference – Art Materials World.

The association provides an array of products, services and programs developed by, and for, its members. It conducts vital research about the industry and shares trends in the art materials business.  Its bi-weekly e-newsletter is a leading source of revenue-generating and cost-cutting ideas; training support, advocacy and regulatory information; industry trends plus national and international art materials news.  

The NAMTA Foundation is focused on the support of art and art education through its grant and scholarship programs.
