NADA is a collective of professionals in the arts.  Its mission is to create an open flow of information, support and collaboration in the arts in order to create a stronger sense of community. NADA believes that the adversarial approach to exhibiting and selling art has run its course and that change can be achieved through fostering constructive thought and dialogue between various points in the art industry—from large galleries to small, non-profit and commercial spaces alike. NADA is a non-profit, currently filing for Section 506-c and 503-f status, and is a member organization.
