Three times during each meeting year APAA members are invited to participate in an art challenge as an avenue to expand their horizons and deepen their learning. For each of the three Art Challenge Cycles members interested in participating are given an object(s) to be incorporated into a painting. Participating artists may set up the object(s) in any manner they choose. Additional objects may be added, but the required objects must be included.
The artists have two months to complete their paintings. At the membership meeting that concludes the two month period all participants bring their completed paintings matted and/or framed. A discussion leader guides a group discussion/critique of the resulting paintings centered on concept, design, composition, color harmony, value structure, etc.
