Who We Are

The National Collage Society aims to foster appreciation and interest in the recognized medium of collage. Collage has only been identified and defined as a fine art during the twentieth century. The NCS, Inc. advances the stature of collage as a significant art medium and assists in public education through exhibits and workshops, lectures, and publications.

The National Collage Society Inc., is supported by its members who pay $35.00 per year (a tax-deductible donation to the art foundation, exempt under 501(c)3 classification with the I.R.S.). Memberships imply a dedication to our purpose as stated in the Articles of Incorporation.
