WHO WE ARE
We are the National Media Arts Committee (NMAC) for the National Coalition for Core Arts Standards. Due to the lack of a professional media arts association, NCCAS formed MAC to oversee the writing of the 2014 standards. Comprised of arts educators and community supporters representing various related backgrounds and organizations, MAC has continued and expanded its efforts to serve MAE since publication of the standards. MAC is a placeholder until a formal professional media arts association is founded. MAC is now accepting members and representatives of regional collectives of media arts educators and partnering arts, community and educational organizations.
