Submission of entries is open to all pastelists. Paintings must be entirely the work of the submitting artist. Paintings copied from others’ work, from published material, or from photographs taken by another are not eligible. Paintings done under supervision, such as a workshop or class, are not eligible.

PPSCC reserves the right to refuse any painting that does not meet these professional standards. Return of such paintings will occur at the artist’s expense.

Work must be for sale; NFS is not allowed.
A 40% commission will be paid to the venue/PPSCC for sold paintings.

Example:
Member enters 3 = $35; 4 = $45; 5 = $55;
Non-Member 3 = $45; 4 = $55; 5 = $65.

Payment is made online at time of submission. A maximum of one painting per artist may be accepted into the exhibit.

Current PPSCC Membership dues must be paid in full to receive the member’s rate and entry fees are non-refundable. Please visit our website if you want to sign up or renew your membership.

An email will be sent to the address provided in your submission on or before the notification date mentioned above. Artists whose work is juried into the show will receive additional information.
