Pastel Society | BENCHMARK
Welcome to the annual exhibition of the Pastel Society: a contemporary, adventurous and creative show, presenting a positive challenge to those with pre-conceived ideas about pastel and dry media.
The exhibition will include work from established members and those recently elected, alongside accomplished artists from an open call.
The rich diversity of styles and subject matter in pastel, pencil, charcoal, crayon, chalk, and more, are the ingredients for this benchmark of skill, inspiration and enthusiasm.
Sponsored by Caran d'Ache
The exhibition is accompanied by a full colour, 28-page catalogue with a foreword by the President of the Society. Available to buy at the gallery desk or online
