PPSCC Members' Show and Annual Meeting


Annual MeetingOur Annual Meeting and Election of Officers was held on Oct. 19th at the beautiful Cultural Center of Cape Cod in Yarmouth, at the conclusion of the Members' Show.

Forty-five PPSCC members submitted work for the show, which ran September 24 to October 19. The People's choice awards went to the two paintings with the highest number of votes by people visiting the month-long exhibit. First place went to Eileen Casey and second place to Dale Michaels Wade. This year the awards were boxed sets of 60 Terry Ludwig pastels generously donated by Terry who also donated a box of 30 pastels as a door prize, won by Barbara Stone.

We had a great member turnout at the Annual Meeting and all garnered copious amounts of information from the Signature Panel Critique. Members were invited to include their works in the critique, when they registered for the show. Carole Garvey, Jane Lincoln and Rika Henderson - PPSCC Signature Members - gave a thoughtful and educational review of 22 paintings. A well-deserved thank you to Carole, Jane and Rika for their time and sharing their knowledge.

Also at the meeting we unveiled our new Absolute Beginner's workshop: Exploring Pastels (see the workshops page for more informiation).

Thank you to all of the PPSCC members who participated by sharing their Work, and a special thank you to those volunteers who did all the "behind the scenes work"..... Elaine Cunniff, Rita Bernier, Eileen Casey, Shizue and George Cooper, Pat Ross Marx, Judy Barnet, Janet Vernon and AMON.
