Our Beginnings
Great Britain's National Acrylic Painters'
Association (NAPA) was founded in 1985 by a group of artists who felt
their medium of choice was underrepresented and, perhaps, underestimated
in its appeal and value. They banded together, invited other acrylic
painters to submit their work for membership, and started organizing
exhibitions.
The first chapter that formed in 1995 was the U.S. group.
World-renowned artist Linda Gunn was the founding director of NAPA-USA.
Now known as ISAP-USA. Linda Gunn, the then director of the USA chapter,
noted that NAPA-USA is "a professional organization; professional means
that members earn a regular living by painting or at least have a
professional attitude toward their work."
ISAP-USA is a rapidly growing artists organization whose work to have
acrylic painting recognized has only just begun.
