President and Chairman's Statement

I have been involved with The National Arts Program® and its sponsoring Foundation since their inception 30 years ago. It has given me great satisfaction to see the thousands of pieces of original “peoples art” exhibited in a professional gallery manner.

The pride, self-esteem, and personal gratification felt by these participants year after year only substantiates that there is creative talent within everyone.

For 30 years now, we have held annual exhibits of The National Arts Program® in more than 450 major and minor cities throughout the United States. Each year brings an extraordinary exhibit of artistic talent in the form of sculpture, paintings, photography, and crafts by people who most likely would not otherwise have had such an opportunity.

I look forward to the continued growth of the program which now includes 89 venues in 42 states.

Kathleen C. Jamieson, President & Chairman
