About the Association

PAPAT was established in 2015 with a mission to advance the appreciation of pastel art in Taiwan. Initially, our focus was on showcasing local pastel artists through exhibitions. Over time, we recognized the opportunity to broaden our horizons and decided to invite talented artists from around the globe. By featuring international pastelists, we aim to enrich the public’s understanding of pastel art and bring diverse artistic perspectives to Taiwan.
