Dear Artists:
There are four good reasons to visit the Exhibitions page on the IAPS web site today:
1. We've just posted the names of the people awarded scholarships in 2011 from the IAPS/UCT Scholarship Fund. Click on the link in the yellow box about the scholarship to see the names.
2. The first round of jurying for the IAPS Poster Competition has been completed. Click on the link in the yellow box about the competition to go to a page displaying the five finalists' images.
3. The deadline for the 18th Juried Exhibition is March 30. If you haven't downloaded your entry form, download it now from this page. This is going to be a wonderful exhibition in a beautiful space in Albuquerque, hanging during the Ninth Biennial Convention. We expect to hang around 70 paintings in this exhibition. You've still got time to get your entries in the mail!
4. The First Master Circle Exhibition will hang in the same facility as the Juried Exhibition, with about 40 artists participating. The exhibition will be judged by Elizabeth Mowry, and will have cash awards separate from the juried exhibition above. All members of the Master Circle are eligible, including those slated to receive medallions in 2011. There is no jurying, but an entry fee, digital image and hanging fee must be received by March 1. Download the entry form on this same page.
If you haven't yet registered for the 2011 Convention but plan to attend, we encourage you to register as soon as possible. While a number of sessions have filled, there are many classes and demonstrations with space available. It's going to be a great convention, with many new instructors, classes and some exciting new features. Join us for a nonstop Pastel Extravaganza!
Best regards,
Maggie Price

Dear Artists:
The IAPS 2010 Web Show is now posted on the web site. It's a great show, with a wonderful assortment of styles and subjects all demonstrating the incredible range of possibilities in pastel. We hope you will enjoy it.
We had a record number of entries this year--over 850 images--and 72 were accepted for the exhibition. It was an enormous job for our show chair, Liz Haywood-Sullivan, and our jurors of selection, Lorenzo Chavez, Margaret Evans and Bill Hosner, and we thank them all for their time and efforts. Our judge of awards, Claudia Seymour, faced an equally daunting task in picking 9 award winners from the accepted entries, and we appreciate her care in selecting the award winners. Her comments about the top 5 award-winning images are included on the web site.
We have posted a prospectus for each of our two upcoming exhibitions, the IAPS 2011 Poster Competition and the IAPS 18th Juried Exhibition, also on the IAPS web site. For those artists who are members of the IAPS Master Circle, the submission form for the first IAPS Master Circle Exhibition is also available from the upcoming IAPS competitions page.
Speaking of exhibitions, don't forget to check periodically on the web site for upcoming member society exhibitions. As our member societies plan their 2011 exhibitions, more information should be added to that page, so check often for new postings.
Registrations have been pouring in for the IAPS 2011 convention If you haven't registered yet, don't delay. Some of the workshops, master classes and hands-on classes with limited class space have already sold out, but there are many other sessions to choose from. Complete convention information is available on the web site. It's going to be the best convention ever--hope to see you there!
