Celebrating Excellence in Pastel Art

One of Pastel Artists.CA’s primary mandates is to promote the work of its members through exhibition participation. This is achieved by offering multiple platforms, including the Pastel Artists Exhibition Galleries, where artists can showcase their pastel creations and gain visibility within the art community. One of the most significant exhibitions hosted by PAC is the annual open juried exhibition, “Purely Pastel.” This exhibition stands out as a prestigious event in the pastel art world, providing a distinguished platform for pastel artists across Canada to present their work. Every year, these gallery exhibitions alternate between Western and Eastern Canada, ensuring that artists from various regions have an opportunity to be a part of this exciting event.

The exhibitions are carefully juried by renowned national and international pastel artists. This ensures that only the highest quality pastel works are selected, setting a high standard for all accepted entries. The jurors bring a wealth of expertise and experience to the process, which adds credibility and prestige to the exhibition. This rigorous selection process not only highlights the talent of the artists but also elevates the reputation of pastel art as a respected medium within the broader art community.
