Anyone who has an interest in pastels as a fine art form is invited to attend our 2008 meetings. Our local pastel group, recently expanded it's membership coverage to all of Wiscosnin and beyond, now calls itself the Wisconsin Pastel Artists.  It was  formerly called the Southeast Wisconsin Pastel Society.  Our group was formed and created in 2005 to encourage, educate and connect both the aspiring & experienced pastel artist. Whether you've never picked up up a pastel stick or are an experienced pastelist come visit us to find out more.  Joining our pastel society provides artist support, workshops, industry news, exhibitions and so much more.  The annual fees are very reasonable, presently $25, students $15.  We are a non-profit organization.  Membership information is available at each meeting or by contacting Rick Citta at rcitta@wi.rr.com
