What National Art Materials Trade Associ does
Mission
Namta's mission is to make the industry and association recognized by its members, consumers, and art/craft educators as a primary source of information on art/creative materials. Namta is a leader and unifying force in the support, sustainability and advocacy of art/creative materials business.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The association holds a conference that is a trade only business to business show. This conference and tradeshow is for our members to develop in the industry through educational programming with workshops and seminars along with networking opportunities to build relationships in the creative industry.
The association continues its art advocacy grant program. The program awards grant to applicants who support the arts and the crafts in any of four categories: public art, art education, art therapy for military and veterans, and art therapy for health and healing. Our members were able to inform their customers of the availability of this program through emails, social media cahnnels and our website-www.namta.org. It was available to the public through the same mechanisms.
The association continues to grow "namta connect- and the diversity of its programs available to our members through the theatre (demo alley), the cafe, the gallery and the studio. The theatre consists of live informational sessions and demo alley. The cafe is a platform for our members to catch-up and exchange ideas with each other in the form of roundtables, meetings, and happy hours. The gallery is a forum for members-only that resides on www.namta.org the studio is a place for namta members to view past namta connect session recordings through the learning management system. Both the theatre and the cafe are through the zoom platform.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $1.2M to $1.7M (+42%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 26% · 2022 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
