PSA Annual Exhibition

The PSA Annual is an exhibition open to all PSA members with current membership. To be eligible to submit, membership must be applied for by April 10, 2023. The PSA Annual must be the first showing of each artwork. Paintings may not have been accepted in any previous major exhibition and should not have been published in print or digitally before the PSA opening. Accepted artwork may not be exhibited concurrently in other shows, including virtual shows.

Works must be in dry pastel with no oil pastels. Mixed media must be predominantly dry pastel, with the artwork's final surface being 80% traditional dry pastel. All artwork must be original and created from your own reference, not copied from other artists or published materials. Work done in a classroom, workshop, or online group scenario is not eligible. Artwork must not be created on top of any type of photographic image. There are no size limitations. All subjects and styles are eligible, from traditional to contemporary. Artwork must have been created in the past four years and must be for sale (no NFS or POR).

Entry fee is a flat $50 for one, two, or three entries and is non-refundable. 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 show only the artwork itself without matting, frames, or background. Ensure images are oriented correctly and use the sRGB color profile for best results. The entry deadline is June 1, 2023. For questions, contact Jimmy Wright at [email protected] or [email protected].
