SHADES OF PASTEL NATIONAL JURIED EXHIBITION, AWARD WINNERS!

Congratulations to the Award Winners of this year's Biennial Shades of Pastel Exhibition

The Artist Award Reception and Ceremony took place this past Sunday, October 4 at the Strathmore Hall in Rockville, MD. It is a beautiful show chaired by Dawn Capron, who did a spectacular job organizing this very special event.  Our judge and juror for this show, Richard McKinley, entertained our members with a demonstration in the morning followed by the award ceremony. If you haven't seen the show stop by and view this wonderful collection of pastel paintings displayed in a beautiful setting. The exhibit runs until November, 7.
