NAMAC Conference 2012 Overview

Media arts are integrated into the cultural fabric of our lives — through social messaging, education, story-telling, political discourse and entertainment. The media arts transform people — one by one, and community by community.

In Minneapolis from Sept. 6-8, NAMAC will bring together its national community of independent media, culture and visual-arts producers for its national conference, "Leading Creatively," September 6-8, 2012, in Minneapolis.

As a 2012 conference sponsor, you'll support this three-day, national gathering -- and connect with hundreds of professional media and visual-arts producers, practitioners, leaders, educators, advocates and philanthropists that can benefit from your services.
