Providing a platform for the region’s puppet theatre artists by forming an alliance among worldwide practitioners of the age-old art, the Atlantic Canada Puppetry Association / Association des marionnettistes du Canada atlantique (ACPA/AMCA) was created in 2015. We are formally affiliated with UNIMA-Canada and UNIMA-International, sister organizations whose mandate is to link puppeteers nationally and internationally; to support professional programs; to stimulate the general public's interest in the art of puppetry; and to promote the visibility of Canada’s puppeteers all over the world.

The Atlantic Canada Puppetry Association, with headquarters at Mermaid, is registered under the Nova Scotia Societies Act and governed by a founding board of directors drawn from the four Atlantic Provinces.
We are looking for and accepting new members throughout the Atlantic Canada region. The annual membership fee is $20 (plus $1 online service charge) (includes affiliation with UNIMA CANADA and UNIMA International. Please note that the ACPA/AMCA is a Nova Scotia Registered Society but not a charitable organization - accordingly no tax receipt will be issued.)
