Journalist Nate Freeman reports on Megan Fox Kelly’s recent election to become president of the Association of Professional Art Advisors (APAA).

Quoted in Freemans’s article, ‘Megan Fox Kelly Elected President of Association of Professional Art Advisors ’ (May 5, 2017), Megan Fox Kelly shares that, “We are not private dealers or auction house personnel and do not maintain inventories of art for sale. APAA members are independent advisors and advocates on behalf of their clients. We continue to grow our membership and look forward to welcoming art advisors and private collection curators who share our level of connoisseurship, scholarship, expertise in the art market, and ethical business practices.”

Founded in 1980, the APAA acts as a watchdog that sets the ethical standard for art advisors. Megan will replace Joe Houston, the curator of Kansas City’s Hallmark Art Collection, who served a two-year term. “Joe has raised APAA’s profile as a resource for collectors, and the general public through online platforms and our newly designed APAA News,” Fox Kelly said in a press release. “Thanks to his work, we continue to educate the public, media, and broader art community as advocates for standards of professional practice for qualified art advisors.”
