About NSAL

The National Society of Arts & Letters is to identify, encourage and support artists, between the ages of 18 to 29 years, preparing for professional careers in their individual disciplines. National competitions focus on the rotating categories of visual arts, dance, theater, creative writing, music, and musical theater. The Bloomington Chapter also sponsors an outreach program to recognize young artists in area high schools, as well as a grant program for arts teachers of youth between ages of 4 and 14. The Bloomington, Indiana Chapter was founded in 1966 and has awarded more than $650,000 to artists living and studying in Indiana. Many have gone on to distinguished national and international careers. This is a competition designed to introduce emerging artists to the public.
