24th Biennial Member Exhibition

This exhibition is open to Degas Pastel Society (DPS) members only. Artists may submit up to 3 entries at $40 for the first image, plus $5 for each additional entry. Entry fees are not refundable and must be submitted and paid by the entry deadline of June 20, 2025.

Artwork must be original soft pastel paintings completed in the last three years. Work must be predominately soft pastel, framed under glass or Plexiglas, and sturdily framed, wired, and ready to hang. Size limit is 48" in height and width, including the frame, and must weigh no more than 50 pounds. Paintings larger than this will not be included in the exhibit. Paintings shown in previous DPS exhibits are not eligible. It is recommended that glass be covered with "Glass Skin" or another glass protector, or use plexiglass on shipped paintings. Paintings that arrive with broken glass will need to be repaired at the artist's expense if time allows or will not be hung.

Submit original, high-quality JPEG image files at least 1500 pixels on the longest edge with a maximum file size of 30 MB. Crop images to include only the artwork itself with no visible matting, frames, or background. Ensure images are oriented correctly and use the sRGB color profile for best results. After submission and payment, you may log back in to review your entry, edit artist and image information, and add or substitute images until the entry deadline. Entries cannot be accepted or changed after the deadline, and incomplete entries will be disqualified.
