FAQs
What is NARM?
NARM is an extensive network of hundreds of cultural institutions across Bermuda, Canada, El Salvador, Mexico and the United States that connect their memberships for unprecedented access to arts, science, history, botanical gardens, and more. Supporting at a level that provides NARM ($100 or more) will allow access to membership benefits at institutions across North America.
What is an artist profile listing?
If you are an artist and choose to give at the artist level, you will have a spot on the Artist Directory on the Gallery website which will include a thumbnail, 1-2 sentences about you and your work, and one website or social media link.
