NAMAC (National Alliance for Media Art and Culture)

NAMAC's mission is to foster and fortifie the culture and business of independent media arts.  "Through dialogue, collaboration, research and advocacy, we connect, organize and develop organizations."
NAMAC was founded in 1980 by an eclectic 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 services 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.
