Artist Bio:

Formed in late 2004, our society represents artists in the central Pennsylvania region who are interested in the medium of soft pastel. Throughout the year, we organize exhibitions, offer member meetings to share work and ideas, organize plein air painting opportunities, and promote artistic development for our members.

Our members are dedicated to the following goals:
To promote fellowship among members
To raise public awareness of pastel as an artistic medium
To enhance creative painting with pastels
To offer educational activities that foster growth among members

Our current members reflect diverse levels of skill and experience. Some are beginners while others are accomplished professionals; some work exclusively with pastels while others work in mixed media, incorporating acrylic and watercolors; some work exclusively on their own while others attend regularly scheduled classes and workshops. Periodically, all members meet to share their work, their techniques, and to enjoy an afternoon of artistic fellowship.
