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.
