• Or, inside your store, preferably around the main section of the store, such as the checkout area - again with either your logo or something clearly stating who you are visible in the picture.

Hall of Fame and Lifetime Achievement Awards
Namta will not be naming recipients for these awards for 2021.
As a result of the pandemic and cancellation of Chicago 2020 and 2021, we have not yet had the opportunity to carry out the tradition of honoring Namta's 2020 Recipients in person - and we plan to do just that at Art Materials World 2022 with Creativation in Orlando, Florida!

"The sustainability and fragility of our environment- the world that surrounds us and everything we rely on to survive- is crucial. Whether as a way of advocating, innovating, or educating, the arts are playing a crucial role in raising awareness and driving change."
