SIMS APPRAISAL

Jason Sims provides generalist appraisal services with specialties in antiques, collectibles, decorative art, fine art, and photography. These specialities represent his lifelong interest in arts and cultures and his own areas of collecting.

Jason contracted as a juror for the Tempe Festival of The Arts from 2015 to 2023.   In this capacity he was responsible for qualifying artists to participate in the festival and to judge artworks for awards. Categories qualified and judged were: digital, drawing, glass, fiber, jewelry, metalwork, mixed media, upcycling, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture. 

Jason holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art from The University of Arizona and a Master of Administration in Public Management from Northern Arizona University. 

Seeing an opportunity to blend his creative and administrative backgrounds Jason decided to participate in the Appraisal Association of America's Comprehensive Appraisal Studies Program (CASP) to become a qualified appraiser.

Shortly following the completion of CASP, Jason established Sims Appraisal to provide appraisals complaint with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).
