Northwest Pastel Society

The Northwest Pastel Society is a membership organization for artists working in pastel. It offers members opportunities to exhibit their work through juried exhibitions such as the annual Members Show and the Signature Members Show, and it organizes workshops with visiting pastel artists as well as informal paint-out and paint-in gatherings. The society recognizes outstanding work through awards and supports its members' connections to broader pastel-art communities, including the International Association of Pastel Societies. Members can also join a private online group to share tips, learn about upcoming events, and connect with fellow pastel artists.
