Collage Society

I was looking into Collage Organizations today.
National Collage Society
The National Collage Society Inc., is supported by its members who pay $30.00 per year ( a tax deductible donation to the art foundation, exempt under 501(c)3 classification with the I.R.S.). Memberships imply a dedication to our purpose as stated in the Articles of Incorporation.
"... to foster the appreciation and interest in the recognized medium of collage. Collage has only been identified and defined during the twentieth century. The NCS, Inc. advances the stature of collage as a major art medium and assists in the public education through exhibits and workshops, lectures and publications."
First Frontier Collage Society
The First Frontier Collage Society was formed in Austin, Texas in 1998 as an affiliate of the National Collage Society and achieved independent and 501(3)(c) non-profit status in 2001.
The mission of the FFCS is to increase public awareness of collage and mixed media as a viable fine art, and to provide educational opportunities and support for artists in a tangible way through workshops and exhibitions.
Northwest Collage Society
The Northwest Collage Society held its first regional meeting in 1987 as the North Coast Collage Society. In 1997 it became the Northwest Collage Society. The NWCS is affiliated with the National Collage Society, Inc., a non-profit organization headquartered in Hudson, OH with Gail Larson, NCS as regional representative. The purpose of NWCS, as adopted from the National Collage Society’s Articles of Incorporation, is “to foster the appreciation and interest in the recognized medium of collage.” The NWCS works to advance the stature of collage as a major art medium and assist in the education of its members and the public through exhibits, workshops, lectures and publications.
The International Society of Assemblage and Collage Artists
Welcome to the homepage for the The International Society of Assemblage and Collage Artists. This Society is intended for artists who work primarily in Collage and/or Assemblage or an associated constructive form such as montage, construction, film, constructive poetry or sound, etc. We are founding this society during the 90th anniversary of collage which is officially considered to have begun as an artform in 1912 with the first collages of Pablo Picasso in particular with the picture "Still Life with Chair-Caning".
Virginia Collage Society
"... to foster the appreciation and interest in the recognized medium of collage. Collage has only been identified and defined during the twentieth century. The NCS, Inc. advances the stature of collage as a major art medium and assists in the public education through exhibits and workshops, lectures and publications."
