## About

Canada's national community for pastel artists, uniting members through exhibitions and workshops.

Pastel Artists.CA (PAC) is a national community dedicated to promoting the soft pastel medium across Canada, from British Columbia to the Maritimes. It supports its members through juried gallery and online exhibitions, including the annual "Purely Pastel" show that alternates between Western and Eastern Canada, as well as an annual online juried exhibition. PAC also offers workshops led by Canadian and internationally recognized instructors to build members' skills and foster artistic growth.

As part of the International Association of Pastel Societies, it connects Canadian pastel artists with a broader international community.
