The visual arts encompass the disciplines of painting, drawing, etching, sculpture, and photography. All are valid ways of expressing the creativity of the artist. The visual arts program is open to all artists wishing to display their work through a series of shows and exhibitions held throughout the year at locations in and around Apex. Artists interested in participating in these programs should contact us at info@ApexArtsCouncil.org to be placed on the list for each Call-for-Artists issued.

The Apex Arts Council provides education and classes in the arts and related disciplines to help artists and emerging artists develop their craft to the fullest.

The Apex Writers Guild is an ongoing program to provide writers with a forum to discuss their work and/or the business of writing and publishing in general with their peers. It is an opportunity for published authors, budding writers, would-be writers, and lovers of literature of all types to come together for their mutual benefit. All disciplines of the literary arts are encompassed in the group from novels and prose to short stories to poetry.

The group meets on the fourth Tuesday of each month from 6:00pm to 8:00pm at the Common Grounds Coffee House at 219 North Salem Street in historic downtown Apex.
