The National Creative Society (NCS) is an (interdisciplinary) creative arts honorary society that offers infrastructure, resources, awards, and collaborative opportunities. NCS' mission is to identify, honor, and nurture creative young artists so as to bring their gifts to their communities and beyond. Students, from fifth grade through college ages, are inducted into membership in locally organized NCS chapters after being nominated by teachers, private arts instructors, and adult leaders and mentors of the local chapter. The local chapter advisor(s) make all membership decisions in compliance with NCS Constitutional guidelines.
