Every Spring, the AAP Program mounts a juried exhibit of AAP student work with the Sande Webster Gallery. Before the submission deadline, workshops focusing on technique for professionally presenting and photographing artwork. After the pieces that will be included in the show are selected by the Sande Webster Gallery staff, the AAP helps students prepare their work to be displayed for the exhibit, assists them in pricing their piece(s), and helps them to prepare an artist's statement for the exhibition catalog.
A wide variety of work is shown from the fine arts of painting and sculpture to digital media in advertising/design and illustration. The opening reception includes food, music, and performances from AAP students.
Through this exhibit, the students learn about the ways of the gallery world. It also gives them a chance to network with art patrons, and expose themselves professionally as artists. Many students sell their work.
Congratulations to the following students from the 2008 show:Honorable Mention #1 - Diego Urena
Honorable Mention #2 - Anna Romaniuk
Honorable Mention #3 - Jenny Welsh
Honorable Mention #4 - Kristian Camero
