What a fun time we had at the BAM ArtFair - lots of visitors and over 300 talented artists to see. Thank you Larry, Lavern, JoAnna and Robert, and Josephine and Roy for acquiring my original pastels and supporting local artists. It was so fun to be a part of your excitement and anticipation to get your paintings home :)
I am so excited! I just read this wonderful email: "July 2015 Dear Kay Crawford, I am happy to inform you that the jury of selection has accepted the following work for the 2015 Pastel Society of America 43rd Annual Exhibition: Enduring Brilliance! "Gift" The jury carefully viewed and considered each anonymous image in a field of 1,365 submissions. They were limited to selecting fewer than 180 works for inclusion. Congratulations on your accomplishment! " Here is some background information on the PSA from their website:
"A primary mandate of the Pastel Society of America (PSA) is to provide a forum for the exhibition of works by the most accomplished pastel artists in the United States and abroad. The PSA Annual Exhibition: Enduring Brilliance! is held during the month of September in the Grand Gallery of the National Arts Club, a historic mansion located on Gramercy Park, in Manhattan. The society's annual exhibitions are the premier event for pastel artists in this country and abroad...The exhibition, the culmination of PSA activities for the year, acknowledges the professional excellence of participating artists and helps promote the finest examples of pastel to the general public, the professional art world, art students, and art collectors."
