The National Oil & Acrylic  Painters' Society

NOAPS Annual Exhibit

    The NOAPS Annual Exhibit is assembled for the purpose of recognizing artists and their works created with oil and acrylic paint.  The exhibit represents various schools, styles, techniques, and idiosyncrasies of the painting media.  Works are chosen on the basis of quality and the individual artist's mastery of medium and expression without inclination toward a particular style, school, technique, or painting.

    The NOAPS annual exhibit offers an opportunity for artists and the public to interact for their mutual benefit, while insuring the perpetuation of this form of artistic communication and adding to the cultural enrichment of North America.

    The exhibits are sponsored by NOAPS members, benefactors, exhibit sponsors, and the Missouri Arts Council.
