Benefits of Membership
PAC sponsors two shows each year. Our “Purely Pastel” exhibition is an open juried gallery exhibition. This exhibition features numerous cash and merchandise awards and alternates between the west and east coast each year.
Our other exhibition is an annual member online juried show. It is hosted on our website in the late fall
Our printed quarterly newsletter is mailed to each member and is available exclusively to members on our website.
Our member’s only section of our website offers tips and tutorials authored by our signature and active members.
PAC has an extensive library of pastel related DVD’s. These DVD’s are available to “rent” cost free
Basic members are listed on our website with links available to their personal website. Premium members also have an image gallery of their work on their profile page.
Members earn points towards Signature and Master level status through participation in our exhibitions and by award recognition for outstanding work. PAC signature status is awarded to active members who have been accepted into three (3) PAC exhibitions. To earn MPAC status, an active member must have been accepted into five (5) PAC exhibitions and have received at least one (1) award.
PAC is a member of IAPS. Our members are eligible to enter IAPS exhibitions, both online and in prestigious US galleries. Members are also eligible for discounted IAPS Convention rates.
Membership Levels
Pastel Artists.CA offers two levels of membership. Our Basic Membership level is ideal for those artists who already have their own website. Our member directory will link visitors to your website.
Premium Membership provides an image gallery for those artists who don’t have their own website. Members with their own website may also want to consider this option as an excellent way to promote their artwork!
Our membership year runs from January to December. If you join after October 1, the following year is included in this fee.
