IAPS

The International Association of Pastel Societies IAPS represents pastel societies uniting in a common cause — to demonstrate the validity and quality of pastel fine art around the world. Membership is limited to qualified pastel societies. There are no individual memberships available. As a member of CPS you are eligible to participate in IAPS activities.

The coming together of pastel societies provides a strong voice for pastel artists and the luminous medium of "Pastel". The foundation of IAPS is based on "networking and sharing. Individual artists benefit and expand their knowledge through the IAPS society of their choice.

IAPS was founded in 1994 through the efforts of Urania Christy Tarbet.

• IAPS Master Circle

.

The Master IAPS Circle has been created to honor those artists who have entered IAPS Exhibitions and IAPS Convention Catalogue Cover Contests. These artists have supported IAPS and their art is worthy of this distinction.
Although not a "signature" at this time which can be signed on paintings, the letters may be used on websites, brochures, magazine articles and other printed forms. Each recipient of the award will receive a gold medallion with their name & year they received the honor engraved on the back. A plaque bearing the same information will be displayed at each IAPS Convention and Exhibition.
