Northwest Pastel Society 40th Open International Exhibition

This is a live exhibition gallery show OPEN to Northwest Pastel Society (NPS) members and non-members. All artwork is to be executed in dry pastel (hard to soft pure pigment pastels, not oil pastels). Mixed media is permitted when the artwork’s final top surface is at least 80% traditional dry pastel. Any photo reference used must have been taken by the artist themselves. All artwork must be original in concept and completed within the past two years—no collaborative, classroom, or instructor-assisted work is permitted. Accepted paintings must be identical to the digital entry. All entries must be for sale and realistically priced. Sale price must be aligned with the artist's online sales and/or website. Accepted artwork may not be exhibited concurrently in other shows or competitions, including virtual events. Cole Gallery will be entitled to a 50% commission on sales between show entry and up to 2 weeks after show closing.
