The National Association of Street Artists is an independent UK network of creative practitioners making work for the outdoors.
NASA aims to support and develop the professional practice of UK based street artists by:
- Engaging in strategy and policy discussions
- Advocating for the sector and networking with key organisations
- Providing information sharing, discussion forums and peer support
- Undertaking research and delivering developmental projects
NASA values its working relationships with a range of organisations including ISAN, Circus Arts Forum, Conflux, Equity, XTRAX, ITC and many others in the UK and Internationally (many acronyms! Visit Links).
NASA provides an email group, for artists to debate work and share ideas and information. When, requested and when it is to the benefit of street artists in the UK, Mission Control will discuss artists’ concerns and issues with external parties. Please note, however, NASA is not a union. For Union services please contact Equity (actors) and the Musicians Union (musicians).
NASA is a network managed by an elected Steering Group called Mission Control (see About).
Mission Control is made of practicing artists who volunteer their time to attend planning meetings, co-ordinate projects and network on behalf of the organisation and its members.
NASA Mission Control regularly attends showcases, meetings and strategically important street arts festivals and events in the UK and internationally. If appropriate, NASA is happy to carry and display, on behalf of its’ paid up and e-group members, a small amount of printed publicty, DVDs and CDs at the events it attends. There is a nominal charge for this service of £10 for UK events (£5 for paid up members) and £20 for international events (£10 for paid up members). Mission Control will put calls out for publicity from members on the NASA e-group.
