Our artists' experience range from professional to
beginner and everything in-between. Some of our
artist's have been featured in art publications, did
demo's, taught classes, and won prestigious awards.

The Pittsburgh Pastel Artists League is a new kind of
group both in longevity and guidelines.

		We do not screen work for membership and so
		far have not had a screened or juried exhibit.
		We experience a warmth and caring about
		each other in our group that is sometimes lost when competition exists.
		We believe in supporting the medium of pastel
		and pastel painters. The public doesn't understand the purity and stability of pastels.
		We share ideas and news about new materials
		via E-letters. E-letters are our main source of communication.
		We having 3 scheduled paintouts this summer
