The National Acrylic Painters’ Association (NAPA) is a not-for-profit organisation run by artists for artists which, at its core, promotes and celebrates the incredibly versatile medium of acrylic paint.
NAPA artists use acrylic paint in all its forms using a variety of styles, subjects and techniques. Their work can be seen on this website and in our annual exhibition which is held in various locations throughout the UK.
