Exhibit Hall
Opening Reception: Wednesday, July 12, 5-8 p.m.

Artworks by 30 AP Studio Art students will be on display in the exhibit hall during the conference. Selected from more than 25,000 portfolios that were submitted for evaluation for the three AP art exams this year, the artworks represent the best of the best.
At the AP Exam Reading in early June 2006, college, university, and secondary school art instructors carefully review the portfolios using rigorous standards. Their evaluations enable colleges and universities to acknowledge and encourage students' accomplishments by granting appropriate college credit and placement.
