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. We 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. We had a bus trip to the Cleveland Museum to see the Monet Ex. in 2007 it was great. Also, in the process is a workshop with a nationally known artist Desmond O'Hagan scheduled in August 2009. We will do this in the South of Pittsburgh area in conjunction with the McMurray Art League. Offficers President: Carol A.
