How to Get Involved

How do I nominate someone for membership?

APAA membership is by invitation and based on the following criteria:

  • Working as a principal of one's art advisory firm for a minimum of 5 years.

  • Obtaining an advanced education and experience in the study of fine art.

  • Not maintaining inventory or accepting art on consignment.

  • Being compensated by one's clients and being paid by only one source per transaction.

  • Transparency with clients regarding compensation structure.

  • Prioritizing clients' interests.

If you know an advisor who meets APAA’s membership criteria, please send a recommendation to info@artadvisors.org and we’ll share the information with APAA’s Membership Committee.

How do I join a committee?

APAA relies on its members to grow and evolve as an organization.

If you are interested in joining a committee or the board of directors, please reach out to info@artadvisors.org, or call our executive director, Kim Maier, at 718-781-0354 to learn more. 

APAA’s board meets approximately 4 times a year, as do APAA’s committees (Membership, Public Programming, Corporate Art Curators).
