Signature Membership

Dear PSNC Artists,

A new opportunity has been approved by the Board to offer our PSNC membership an advanced level of recognition – Signature Membership. Members of PSNC are now able to earn 1 point or more toward Signature Membership with seven different opportunities. Among them is being accepted into the upcoming Statewide Exhibition, acceptance into the Online Competition, or offering time and service as a Board Membership or Committee Chairman.

A 7 Point System will be employed from the beginning of the calendar year 2018.

You may earn your advanced level of membership by earning points in any combination of the activities listed below:

  • 1 point earned for service as a PSNC Board Member or Chair of a Committee during each calendar year beginning January 2018
  • 1 point earned with acceptance into the Statewide Exhibition with no difference to the number of images accepted into the show
  • 1 point earned with acceptance into the PSNC Online Exhibition with no difference to the number of images accepted into the show
  • 1 point for acceptance into any international exhibition starting and on going after January 1, 2018
  • 1 point earned for any award earned in any of these exhibitions starting and on going after January 1, 2018
  • 2 points for any Pastel Society of America advanced membership Signature and up
  • 2 points for any International Association of Pastel Societies advanced membership Master Circle and up

Current members will also be permitted to earn points from the beginning of the 2018 calendar year with service to the PSNC as a Board member or Committee Chair of any active, listed committee in the calendar year 2018. This is an ongoing opportunity to serve.

You can download a copy of the requirements here.
