Welcome to the Austin Pastel Society!
The paintings in the box above are the award winners from the 2007 Juried Members Exhibition.
The Austin Pastel Society is a Non-Profit Organization founded in 1998 by a group of Austin artists active in the soft pastel medium.
Our mission is to provide members with opportunities to exhibit their work, in both juried exhibitions and open exhibitions at locations throughout the area, and to educate the public, gallery owners and collectors about the merits and care of pastel paintings.
Artists, from beginners to professionals, benefit from many opportunities provided by APS to learn about materials and techniques, and to grow in their abilities by observing demonstrations at monthly meetings, participating in hands-on workshops led by nationally recognized instructors and by attending paint-outs and other events.
The Austin Pastel Society is a member of IAPS, the International Association of Pastel Societies.
The Austin Pastel Society currently has approximately 100 members.
