About SPS

The Southeastern Pastel Society was established in 1987 as a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting pastel painting in the Southeast. We are excited to be celebrating our 35th year as a society. The Society has since grown and has members across the United States and beyond. We play a vital role in the pastel community by providing education and a channel of communication within an environment where pastel artists may flourish.
