The National Arts Council of Zambia (NAC) is a Zambian quasi-government agency established in 1994 which began operating in 1996.[1] The organization has the mandate to develop, regulate and promote all forms of arts in Zambia. It works with the Government, private, public and community organizations to develop the arts and strengthen the arts' contribution to Zambia's social-economic agenda. The NAC is the gateway to a network of artists, arts organizations and partners throughout Zambia. Currently, the council has over two hundred and fifty registered arts organizations, eight national arts associations, and fifty promoters.
Among other activities, it sponsors Zambia's annual Ngoma Awards, a national arts award. The NAC also organizes the Arts Business Forum, which brings together creative entrepreneurs to engage in the business of the arts. In the past, the NAC has funded various arts programmes and activities through the arts development fund. This supported vibrant artistic programmes in terms of festivals, workshops and provided travel grants.
