Pastel works, prized for their brilliant color, are on display and for sale in this open and juried show. Art collectors and enthusiasts will find something special amidst a selection of figurative, landscape, still life and abstract works.

Today’s pastel artists explore the versatility of these luscious, pure pigments using a wide variety of styles and artistic expressions. The APAA seeks to inspire and promote its members through demonstrations, workshops, informal competitions, juried shows, as well as public exhibitions. It held its first open show 8 years ago and quickly grew to include works from the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia and Asia.
