A note from Audra Sewell-Noblique... Art Professionals of Texas, an elite group of artists for whom art is a way of life, is now accepting membership applications from artists in all mediums. New members are accepted based on a portfolio review by a panel of respected jurors unaffiliated with APT. APT offers workshops, marketing advice, access to art professionals and collectors, as well as assistance with the business side of art. For more information, go to .
