About Us:
WHAM is a non-
WHAM was created primarily to support the Northwest Valley of Phoenix, Arizona which includes (but not limited to); Surprise, Sun City West, Sun City, Youngstown, El Mirage, N. Peoria, West Glendale, Buckeye, and Wickenberg areas.
WHAM is not only dedicated to giving back to the community in an artistic way but to help the local artist unite and support each other.
The Northwest Valley is growing rapidly with most focus on building resident housing and businesses. The communities of the Northwest Valley are hungry for identity, a sense of uniqueness, and pride. ART showcases the vibrancy of a growing area. An art movement dedicated to promote community art awareness and participation can be instrumental in contributing to the overall stability and advertisement of the Northwest Valley as a place you want to live.
With this all said WHAM ( What’s Happen’n Art Movement) came into fruition. It is apparent there is a local need for the understanding, appreciation, and creation of art as a means to enrich the live of our community and to make ART a part of the fabric of our society. Why a Movement? A movement’s function can be very “liquid or fluid”, meaning we can grow and evolve as we go along. The bricks and mortar of this movement are being laid. The vision is a philosophy of ‘inclusion of many types of artists who have a passion about giving back to the community. It’s not to say that the individual artist wouldn’t benefit from an organization where we can share and learn from each other.
We are offering a central forum for the local artist to get acquainted, to display and advertise their work, and to get involved in their community.
