Welcome to the web site of the Central Pennsylvania Pastel Society. Formed in late 2004, our society represents artists in the central Pennyslvania region who are interested in the medium of soft pastel. Throughout the year we organize exhibitions, offer member meetings to share work and ideas, organize plein air painting opportunities, and promote artistic development for our members. We invite you to browse our web site where you will learn more about our work and the opportunities that we offer.
