Updates From Ric Forney, President, CPSA DC119

Colored Pencil Pals

Have you been feeling left out lately? If so, come cozy up with your fellow-colored pencil artists. We’ve been busier than ever before. Free weekly Virtual Studio time has been available for a year now. Colored Pencil Pals are still going strong. We’ve made many new friends during this journey as more and more colored pencil artists become members of our local CPSA Chapter. Folks are taking advantage of technology that negates distance and overcomes health concerns. They join us online safely and instantaneously. We now have members as far away as New Jersey, California, and Arizona. Enjoy the weekly wrap-up email sent after each session, or better yet, join us any Tuesday between 11 AM and 2 PM via Zoom ID: 119 611 397 Password: 119.

International Exhibition

I hope every work displayed in our local Exhibit is submitted to the International Exhibition for consideration. Remember, submitted artwork doesn’t have to be an award winner to win. Simply being accepted three times within a ten-year period allows the participant the prestige of CPSA Signature status. There is still plenty of time to submit. The entry deadline is now March 31st, but don’t wait until the last minute! The complete prospectus is available here at CPSA.org.
