SIGNATURE STROKES IN PASTEL EXHIBIT

NOW OPEN
Creative Arts Center, Chatham, MA
The “Signature Strokes” in Pastel Exhibit features the work of the Pastel Painters Society of Cape Cod’s Signature Members, and celebrates the diversity of our pastel artists and their individual marks on the pastel world.
Our Signature Members are comprised of artists from all over the US, predominately the northeast, who have achieved a juried level of mastery as pastelists.
These artists are recognized for their national and regional creative vision in the art of pastel painting, bridging traditional pastel techniques with contemporary exploration.

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.
