It is an exhibition that is of a high standard of artwork, using acrylic paint in a variety of approaches. If you are a professional artist, or a keen painter or just appreciative of art, you must be sure that you don't miss this stimulating and spirited international show-piece. NAPA is a non-profit making organisation organized by artists for artists. It is an international group founded in 1985 with members throughout the world. An American Division was founded in 1995, which owes its origins to NAPA UK. It is now known as ISAP. Finally, NAPA UK is a professional organisation. Professional is taken to mean that it accepts as members those persons who either earn a regular living by painting, or those who although not living by art, adopt a professional attitude toward the subject, exploiting creatively the acrylic medium, using experimentation and imagination. It welcomes all painters be they traditional or modern in their approach to art, and artists are accepted solely on the strength of their expressed work. The Association is lastly non-discriminatory concerning age, disability, gender or race.
