Our Sixteenth Membership Exhibition is now on display at Place St. Charles, 200 St. Charles Avenue, New Orleans, LA.
Fifty-nine artists submitted 105 entries. Eighty entries were juried into the show by the Judge, David Lambert. Mr. Lambert made the following statement regarding our show, “It was an honor to serve as juror for this year’s Degas Pastel Society Membership Exhibition. Upon my initial review of the entries I was immediately impressed with the range of subject matter presented by these fine artists. It was upon seeing the work in person that I was truly struck by the passion and dedication the artists held for this very challenging medium. In addition, their respect for the high craft of pastel painting was clearly evident and humbling; but the paintings in this collection are not mere exercises in technical prowess. This is a group of painters who each possess their own voice and visual vocabulary that makes for a very rich experience for the viewer.”
