The Pikes Peak Pastel Society would like to invite all artists who reside in the US, and who create original fine art in soft (dry) pastel to submit their artwork to our juried 2022 Pikes Peak Pastel Society Annual Juried Show and National Pastel Exhibition. The exhibit begins on October 3, 2022 and ends on October 29, 2022. The Pikes Peak Library District will host the exhibit at Library 21c.
Eligibility
Open to all artists who paint using soft pastel. (80% of the piece entered must be soft (dry) pastel; no oil pastels.)
The size of the painting is limited to 36 inches wide by 48 inches high (including frame). No nudes, giclée prints, or digital artwork; no works created under supervision (workshop or class) are eligible.
Artwork may have neutral mats; no colored mats allowed. Artwork displayed in any previous PPPS juried exhibitions is not eligible. All work must have been created in the last two years.

Artwork must be framed and ready to hang. All work that is accepted for display must meet the following criteria. Framed art must have wire to hang. Sawtooth hangers will not be accepted. Wire must be attached to hangers on the frame. Eye screws are acceptable for small pieces with little weight. Two or four hold hangers with wire is the preferred method.
Selection is not guaranteed. The juror has the final decision and reserves the right to reject any piece. Paintings that have been juried into the show must remain until October 29, 2022.
