NAMAC facilitates collaboration, strategic growth, innovation and cultural impact for the media arts field. We believe in a world where media artists and organizations are essential and undeniable leaders in a thriving global community.
NAMAC was founded in 1980 by a diverse group of media arts organization leaders who realized they could strengthen their social and cultural impact by working as a united force. Their idea was as bold as it was simple: to create a national organization that would provide support to its institutional members, and advocate for the field as a whole. Since its founding, NAMAC has worked to raise the profile and influence of the media arts on behalf of its growing and changing membership.
