Welcome to the MidAtlantic Pastel Society
|
The MidAtlantic Pastel Society (MAPS) is dedicated to the promotion and greater understanding of pastels as a fine art medium. Open to adults from beginning student to professional, the society provides its members with fellowship, support and growth through bimonthly programs, by offering workshops, critiques and other educational training, and with opportunities to exhibit. Our guiding principles of governance are to operate in a transparent, open manner, seeking ongoing discussion and input from our members.
Founded in mid-2015, MAPS has rapidly grown to include more than 100 members across the mid-Atlantic region. Our membership spans all skill levels, from award-winning and nationally recognized pastellists to artists just getting started in our medium. Click here for more information about MAPS. |
