AAP Exhibition Committee

The Exhibition Committee’s role is incredibly valuable to the organization. With exhibitions at the core of AAP’s mission, it is vital to produce quality exhibitions that showcase the work of our members. The Exhibition Committee is asked to help the AAP staff with many aspects of exhibitions, such as identifying jurors and curators, reviewing artwork submissions, advising on programs, assisting artists in need, helping with installation, and pitching in at events.
