Allied Artists West, The Professional Artists Group of Santa Clara County, is a group of nationally known and emerging professional artists. All of us have received wide recognition for fine quality of our paintings; each has won awards for her works, some in prestigious national exhibitions. Many of us are sought after as art teachers. We are often called upon to jury art competitions and to demonstrate painting techniques to various art organizations. Our works hang both in homes of private collector's and in corporate collections nationwide. Our membership represents a diversity of painting media, techniques and viewpoints.

We are engaged in an active exhibiting schedule throughout the year, which allows a wide audience of art lovers and collectors to see what extraordinary talent we have here in Santa Clara Valley. Because of the members and the consistency of our work we have a large and changing pool of wonderful art that allows us to exhibit on short notice as well as in long-planned shows. In fact, the imprimatur AAW guarantees something worth seeing. We invite you to share the beauty of our work and the inspiration, joy, and dreams that it represents.

Many members are active as instructors and are affiliated with galleries. They are available to act as jurors for art competitions and can give demonstrations to art organizations.
