Letter of Appreciation from the Co-Presidents of the Pastel Society of Colorado, Ivadell Marie and Katannya Walkker
Our appreciation first goes out to the artists who entered this show – thank you so much! We have viewed all 328 entries, and this was a superb and very competitive grouping of work. Of the 84 paintings accepted, 60 artists are represented, and 20 of them are from out of state (no international entries this year...aww).
Here in Colorado, we have one of the most attractive art centers in the metro area - The Curtis Center for the Arts in Greenwood Village. It is home to many unique and exciting art exhibits, lectures and cultural events including youth and adult art programs. Curtis serves as the focal point in Greenwood Village’s commitment to the arts. Our appreciation goes out specifically to the staff: Chris Stevens, Cultural Arts Manager, Lauren Brant, Assistant Cultural Arts Manager and Joyce Jasurda, Administrative Assistant. A wonderful, professional group to work with every other year! Thank you!
And we are also extremely appreciative of our Sponsors this year who have made possible the awards given to those chosen by Mr. Schuerr for special recognition. The awards are an excellent combination of merchandise and gift certificates. Much of what we do is made possible by these sponsors, shown in the back of this catalog. Please thank them by purchasing materials and services from their websites and in their stores. Not the least among those sponsors who make this exhibition possible are the members of PSC (one member wonderfully made a large donation this year) and those who entered the exhibition. Entry fees contribute much of what gets awarded as does contributions from membership fees. Thank you all!
And finally, giant kudos go out to our Show Co-Chairs this year – Anne Cooper-Salazar & Rita Bhasin! They have been tirelessly involved in this exhibition since last summer. Our appreciation is beyond words!
PSC was founded in 1994 to promote and educate the public about the very special medium of pastels. PSC’s website, www.pastelsocietyofcolorado.org, features much of what we do and the many talented artists who make PSC home. Please take the time to visit us and also at www.pscshows.com and our facebook page, www.facebook.com/groups/392190844155098/
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE ARTISTS IN THE SHOW AND THANK YOU TO ALL THE ARTISTS WHO SUBMITTED ENTRIES.
THANK YOU ART LOVERS, ARTISTS AND COLLECTORS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
