IAPS  International Association of Pastel Societies

We're working to develop new ideas and projects for 2010 and for the convention in 2011. In case you haven't seen it, we have a new feature on the IAPS web site, which is a listing of member societies'  national juried competitions. We believe this will be useful to you when you're planning which competitions to enter throughout the year. The list is updated frequently as more shows are added, so it's a good idea to check it often.

Our next exhibition, the Sixteenth Juried Exhibition, will be at the Butler Museum in Youngstown, Ohio, and will hang from July 11 to August 29, 2010. The entry deadline is April 26; you can download a prospectus from the IAPS web site.

The 2010 IAPS Web Show prospectus will be available within the next few weeks on the web site,  with an entry deadline in September. We'll send an email notice when the prospectus is posted.
