FPO 2020 – Best in Show: Laurinda O’Connor, “On a Fall Day”
CALL FOR ENTRIES
2020 Members Open Online Exhibition
November 13, 2020 through January 20, 2021
The Pastel Painters Society of Cape Cod’s (PPSCC) annual member exhibition celebrates the work of our talented and accomplished community of pastel artists from across the country.
Knowing this is a challenging time for artists, we will not be charging a commission fee this year. All artists have the option of making their paintings available for sale and will receive 100% of the proceeds. And because the show is online, you will also save on framing, shipping, and travel.
Deadline for Submission: November 4, 2020
Members are invited to submit one or two pastel paintings. This is a non-juried show and all entries will be accepted and showcased on the PPSCC website, available for sale. Entry fee is $25 for one or two images.
Eligibility requirements and submission information can be found in the Prospectus.
Awards will be Presented on November 14, 2020
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.
