Carolyn Molder had 2 paintings accepted into the Alabama Pastel Society National Show at the Soon Bok Lee Sellers Art Gallery in Birmingham, Al.

The International Association of Pastel Societies website has a brand new look overall, with more emphasis on artwork and an easy method for people to find societies.

Please visit the site and take a look at our society’s information in the Member Societies listings, if you find anything that needs to be corrected, please send the information directly to Maggie Price.

They are working to determine ways the IAPS web site could be more useful to its member societies, and welcome your input and ideas.

Enjoy the new site!
