The APS Fall Show 2019 at
Lost Pines Art Center (LPAC) was a great success!
Pastels in the Pines, the APS fall show at the Lost Pines Art Center in Bastrop included 30+ artists who submitted works to this show. It looked wonderful.
Our participating artists included some long-time and new members as well, and some who are new to having work in a show.
The public reception was September 7, with live music, refreshments, and, of course, great art.
