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 | |
