You have expressed an interest in the art movement known as WHAM (What’s Happen’n Art Movement). WHAM Art Association is an organization that primarily consists of artists from the West Valley of the Phoenix, Arizona area, representing a wide range of artistic disciplines.

WHAM’s purpose is to support, advance and promote artistic awareness, participation, and expression in all areas of the visual arts where art enriches the lives of our community and to make art a part of the fabric or our society. WHAM has been promoting activities including group exhibitions, art walks, community participation in public art, gallery shows, educational forums about art history or specific art topics, publications about coming events (community art calendar), demonstrations, art competitions for youth, seniors and specific “at -risk” groups, supporting local schools in classrooms by providing needed art instruction, and an avenue for artistic collaboration between artists, community, and local government.

​WHAM primarily promotes the arts in the West Valley being inclusive not exclusive and strives to have a credible organization in place as the West Valley continues to build their cities and businesses. Currently we are the only community art center in the West Valley. We welcome someone of your artistic inclination in our organization, but you don’t have to be an artist, we need advocates as well. You must be 18 years or older. Your artwork must be your original work. Some art work is juried for specific art exhibits and other events are for all members.

WHAM is an organization of volunteers and each member must volunteer at least 12 hours per year to be a member in good standing and to participate in exhibits. There are many different opportunities to do volunteer work for WHAM Art Association just jump in and you’ll find an area that fits you.
Membership is $40.00 per year. If you are interested, you can come to our next members meeting (third Wednesday of every month [excluding June-Aug.])  or you can fill out the attached application and mail it along with your $40 membership dues and you will be added to our email list for upcoming events. We email members information about meetings and scheduled events. Our meeting is typically held at 6:00 PM on the third Wednesday of the months (with some seasonal adjustments) at the WHAM building.
