2024 Stone Scholarship
DON’T MISS YOUR CHANCE, APPLY BEFORE JUNE 29!
Each year, the PPSCC Stone Scholarship provides funds for up to three qualified PPSCC members to study with an award-winning pastel instructor in a hands-on workshop environment (which may be virtual). The program is available to all paid PPSCC members.
The fund enables the three recipients to participate in one of the following:
- Winter One-Day Workshop (WOW) – 2 funded seats
- One 2-day Masters Workshop – 1 funded seat
The selection committee will review and select recipients based on potential and interest in participating in a PPSCC workshop. Recipients will be announced during the summer For Pastels Only Awards Ceremony in July.
Our Mission
To create a community of pastel artists, to set standards of excellence through education and to encourage and nurture artists in their professional growth. Further, we strive to educate the public and gallery owners of the permanence, versatility and value of the medium and to offer opportunities for our members to participate in juried shows and exhibitions devoted to pastels. We hope to establish pastel as a separate category in art exhibitions.
Membership
It’s easy to join! Members of all levels are welcome. New, experienced and professional pastel artists as well as interested supporters may join. If you’re interested in pastel painting, your PPSCC membership will allow you to meet fellow artists, share ideas, learn new things, and even exhibit your work.
