Great turnout for our 2026 juried exhibition and sale "Valley Deep/Mountain High" at the Shemer Art Center in Phoenix,AZ recaption and awards presentation!

What an exciting evening at the Shemer Art Center with award announcements for the APAP 2026 annual juried member show and sale "Valley Deep/Mountain High". Congratulations to all who were juried in and our award winners. Many thanks to our jurors of selection, Robert Goldman and Terri Gay and our judge of awards, Gregory Hull.
"I was overwhelmed with the quality and variety of the work in this exhibit and it was very difficult to choose the winners. I was pleased to see so much plein air work being done, given the harshness of our desert surroundings and the effort it takes to get outside and paint. In my book you're all winners." G. Hull

The full show is online thru ShowSubmit and all sales are handled by the Shemer Art Center.

YIKES. someone hacked our zoom meeting. It was so horrible and we regret this happening. I will work with Zoom support for insight and measures to prevent and handle in the future, immediately. We will not have another zoom until this is completely investigated.
