Pastel is becoming more and more popular every year, and people worldwide are discovering the joys
and benefits of working in this versatile medium. Exciting things are happening in the pastel world! We
strive to keep our members informed by offering a number of educational opportunities. Whether you
are new to pastel or are an experienced pastel artist, a membership in the Pastel Society of South
Carolina presents a variety of experiences to advance your artistic goals.

Yearly dues are $40; and if you join in the last quarter of the year, your $40 covers the next year too.

Benefits of membership include:

•  Educational meetings either in person or by Zoom hosting a nationally known artist who teaches and demonstrates.
• Twice yearly opportunities to enter your work in PSSC exhibitions.
• Early registration for any PSSC sponsored workshops. Some past workshop instructors include Nancy King Mertz, Eve Miller, and Laurinda O’Connor.
• PSSC is a member of the International Association of Pastel Societies (IAPS), which entitles PSSC members to benefits from IAPS. A fun and exciting experience is attending the biennial conference in Albuquerque with other members.
• Getting together with people who share your passion for pastels at meetings, plein air outings, etc.

Join us as we grow and continue to learn. We would love to welcome you to our group! Join Here.
