This year’s theme is GENERATION. At this pivotal moment for APAture, we turn our focus toward what we inherit, what we cultivate, and what we pass on. GENERATION asks us to seed growth for the future health of our communities while honoring the artistic lineages that have brought us to this moment. As we consider what the next generation of artists will hold and shape, we also recognize our role in tending the conditions that allow them to thrive. With the health of our communities in mind, we celebrate creative inheritance as an active, collective practice—one that bridges past, present, and future through art. We invite artists to reflect on GENERATION in all its meanings: a place of ancestry, mentorship, responsibility, and renewal.
