Our Mission:

The Alliance of Professional Artists is a national organization committed to supporting and educating art-driven individuals and groups, while serving as an advocate for the art community.

Members consist of individual artists, art schools, museums, galleries, studios, art organizations, communities, associations, foundations and more.

APA is aware of the challenges existing in the artist environment and serves as a support resource by offering healthcare discounts, merchandise and product discounts, a venue for open communication with other members, a vehicle to showcase their work, an e-commerce site to sell their work, and other special pricing opportunities for members only.

In addition to supporting the artist community, APA endeavors to serve as an education resource. APA offers members numerous tools to grow as artists. All members receive a subscription to Art Calendar, the business magazine for visual artists. Resources also include sample resumes, artist statements, consignment contracts, educational webinars and a monthly e-newsletter providing the most up-to-date income opportunities available and current industry news.

APA also strives to serve as an advocate for artist rights. APA provides members with a platform to voice their opinions and solutions to current art issues. 

APA unites artists for mutual support in the spirit of friendship and cooperation and provides an outlet for education and change.
