T he Pastel Society of New Mexico was formed in 1989 from a small group of New Mexican artists, fulfilling a need for a regional organization which would promote the soft pastel medium. Our membership has grown dramatically to include members from throughout New Mexico as well as surrounding states.
Membership is open to anyone interested in pastels.
The goal of the group is to encourage the use of pastels by artists and to foster public understanding and appreciation of pastels as a painting medium. Included are online galleries for about 20 artists, frequently updated info on workshops, exhibitions and links to other art sites.
