The Pittsburgh Pastel Artist League was formed in 2002 by Dr. Pat Bianco.  She was
looking for other pastel artists in the Pittsburgh area and placed an ad in the local paper
and was bombarded with other pastelists  with the same idea.

In 2003 Carol Donnelly took over as president and implemented new ideas. Carol stated ,
w
e are a loose group....no typical meetings..mostly E-letters  containing info on exhibits,
supplies, artists' accomplishments, websites, etc.  When we do meet, we have fun...usually
a business meeting first, lunch, and a paint out.
Carol and Fran organized  a bus trip to
the Cleveland Museum to see the Monet Ex. in 2007 it was great.
