The People Behind the AAP
This project runs on volunteers where no one, not even the Admins gets paid. Everyone here gives their time because they believe in what we're building, which is a place where emerging artists can grow, get noticed and break into the industry. These are the people who make it happen.
Ambassadors
The team who dedicate their time and energy to conventions, judging, moderation, outreach, shipping, partnerships and everything else that the AAP does beyond the art itself. If you've ever entered a DMC, had your work judged or stopped by a convention booth, at least one or more of these faces was behind it.
Alumni
Artists who began their journey with the AAP and went on to become industry professional. They entered challenges, won DMCs, built their portfolios and got hired.
Honorary Members
Past and present supporters who have contributed significantly over the years. Their names belong here because their contribution helped build what the AAP is today.
Become a Member
The AAP relies on the support of its members to help fund this 100% volunteer-led project, most notably the production of each Draw Monthly Challenge including physical printed trophy cards, prizes and more. With monthly pledges we are able to continue to provide a proven career-changing path from emerging artist to working professional for our DMC Winners and support for our incredibly talented community of artists.
Without the continued support of its members and volunteers, the project would cease to exist.
