Welcome to the web site of the Central Pennsylvania Pastel Society.
Formed in late 2004, our society represents artists in the central Pennyslvania
region who are interested in the medium of soft pastel. Throughout the year
we organize exhibitions, offer member meetings to share work and ideas,
organize plein air painting opportunities, and
promote artistic development for our members. We invite you to browse our web
site where you will learn more about our work and the opportunities that we
offer.
