National Assembly of State Arts Agencies (NASAA)


The National Assembly of State Arts Agencies website includes a directory of regional and state arts organizations. Your state arts council is a great resource for finding out grant information, upcoming events, opportunities to market your work, and more. If you haven't visited your regional, state, and local arts council websites, check them out today. There may be opportunities out there that you haven't heard of yet.

North American Reciprocal Museum (NARM) Program


If you plan to visit your local museum or several museums throughout the year, check to see if the museum participates in the North American Reciprocal Museum (NARM) Program. The NARM Program allows those purchasing membership at one museum, to gain free or member level entry to many museums throughout North America, and many offer discounts in the museum shops. A good list of participating museums, with links to the participating museum websites and details on some of the restrictions, can be found on on the NARM site managed by the Greenville County (South Carolina's) Museum of Art.

Some of the participating museums offer family membership for two adults and two children with NARM benefits starting as low as $100 annually. Memberships are also tax deductible. Some museums on the list restrict the number of reciprocating museums membership is valid with.

There is also a Southeastern Reciprocal Museum Program (view this list from the Birmingham Museum of Art), sometimes offered in lieu of or at a lower rate than the NARM Program.

Starving Artist Tip: Check to see which museum will give the best price for membership with NARM benefits, even if you do not reside in the museum's area (you may be able to order your membership online, by phone, or mail).
