SUMMER PICNIC

• MPS will provide fried chicken, a large green salad or pasta salad, and all paper products. Please RSVP by July 18 using the button above so we know how much food to order.

• Bring a dish to share! Look for an email from SignUpGenius. You can list the dish you'd like to bring and see what others are bringing.

• Indoor and outdoor space will be available so we can eat and mingle comfortably regardless of weather

Y-ART SALE

To add a fun, practical, and community‑building element to the Summer Members Meeting, we will host a Y‑ART Sale where members can clear out unused studio items and pick up new treasures. Members have two ways to participate:

Option 1 – Donate Supplies & MPS Sells

• Members may donate pastels, papers, art materials, books, tools, art‑related furniture (easels, taborets, etc.), and other studio items

• MPS will handle all pricing and sales

• 100% of proceeds benefit the Society

• Ideal for members who want to declutter and support MPS without managing a table

• Please provide a list of your donations by emailing corrsec@marylandpastelsociety.org at least one week before the meeting so MPS can price the items

Option 2 – Reserve A Table & Sell Your Own Supplies

• Reserve a table by emailing corrsec@marylandpastelsociety.org to sell gently used or new art supplies, books, tools, or studio items (we will use the tables available at the center)

• Sellers keep their earnings and contribute a 25% donation to MPS from total sales

• Ideal for members who prefer to manage their own pricing, display, and transactions

MPS ALL-MEMBER JURIED EXHIBITION AWARDS

• Announce awards ("Meet the Artists" reception will be held on July 23, 5-7pm, at the Tevis Gallery)

Please note: Due to limited table space, we will not be bringing artwork for feedback this meeting.
