Group show by selected members

10th September - 7th October

The Pastel Society UK is a registered charity, widely recognized for its success in promoting and encouraging the use of pastel within the contemporary art world. It was founded in 1898 and its first exhibition was held in the Royal Institute in Piccadilly.  Founder members and early exhibitors included Brangwyn, Degas, Rodin, Rothenstein, Whistler and G.F.Watts. There are currently over 50 members who are all professional artists living and working in this country and overseas.  Membership is granted through a strict assessment of technical skill, originality, innovation and enthusiasm. Their Annual Exhibition is held in June at the Mall Galleries, London and is open to entries from both members and non-members and awards are made for works of particular note. The Society pursues its aims through education and example. Tutorial workshops and demonstrations will accompany the exhibition at GallerySCA.

 

GallerySCA are thrilled to announce a mixed show by members of the Pastel Society UK for September. Friday 10th September is the private view and all are welcome. This is the first time the PS has shown as a group outside of London in some time so it is a ‘must see’ show with some of the countries very best pastellists showing work. We kick off at 5.30pm and go on until 8.30.  Nicolas of Shrewsbury will be offering a selection of their wines for tasting on the evening.

Artists include Moira Huntly, Libby January, Peter Vincent, Cheryl Culver, Jill Jeffrey, George Thompson, Pauline Clough, Glenys Ambrus, John Ivor Stewart, Ann Wilkinson, Sue Relph and Bob Last.

George Thompson will also be giving a demonstration on Wednesday the 15th of September at 2pm, places are limited so please book your spot early. The show will run until October 7th.
