APT is a group of artists and business people dedicated to helping artists who either live or sell their work in Texas, providing exposure, innovative exhibitions, lucrative opportunities for artists, seminars, art outings, and avenues to help artists refine their presentation. We celebrate creative innovators, and foster a relationship with professionals and patrons interested in great art. We welcome Patron Members as well as artists!
Let us know if you know a great artist interested in joining us. Core members joining before we launch receive special benefits. We also want to hear about any new trails you are blazing in the art world!
This is your art organization, so APT also wants to hear what YOU want to see more of - how can we assist you as an artist?
