About This Call
Out of Bounds! is an open juried international exhibition offered by the Pastel Society of the West Coast featuring works in pastel combined with other mediums. This competition requires entries to be approximately 30-50% pastel combined with one or more other mediums, creating two-dimensional works of art. Pastel must be visible in/on the final surface along with other visible mediums. This exhibition breaks from traditional pastel competitions and is designed for artists working with experimental approaches and mixed media.
The exhibition takes place at Art Center Morro Bay in Morro Bay, California from April 2 – May 11, 2026. An awards reception will be held on Sunday, April 12, 2026 at 2:00pm with judge Dawn Emerson. Cash prizes are awarded for Best in Show, First, Second, Third place, and Honorable Mention. Works receiving place awards count toward PSWC signature status if the artist is a current member at the time of submission.
Entry fees are $60 for non-members (up to 3 paintings, $15 each additional up to 6 total) and $50 for PSWC members (up to 3 paintings, $10 each additional up to 6 total). The exhibition is open to all pastel artists over 18. Work must be completed within the last 3 years, be 2-dimensional with a depth of 2 inches or less, weigh less than 10 pounds, and have a maximum framed size of 48" height by 36" wide (minimum 8"x8"). All accepted works must be for sale with a 30% commission (20% to gallery, 10% to PSWC). Accepted paintings must be delivered or shipped by March 30, 2026.
