This year 110 artists from across the United States and Canada submitted 260 entries to the NPS 22nd International Open Exhibition.  Our juror/judge, Margot Schulzke, selected 70 beautiful paintings for our show to be held at the elegant and spacious American Art Company in Tacoma, WA.  The entries were of very high quality and represented a wide variety of subject matter and style.  We thank her for the difficult task of jurying and judging the exhibit.

On behalf of the Northwest Pastel Society I would like the thank Craig and Tammy Radford, owners of The American Art Company, for offering their gallery to us and for their assistance coordinating our exhibit.  We are most grateful to our donors for their enthusiastic, generous, and on-going participation. 

Finally I would like to express gratitude to my amazing show committee whose assistance made this show a huge success and my job far less stressful than it could have been, in alphabetical order:


 

 

Penny Chadwell once again prepared the award certificates and catalog inserts.

Pat Meras accepted the on-going position of awards chair with energy and imagination. 

Judith and Sherwood Smith brought us into the digital world with the intake of digital entries.

Donna Trent took on advertising and advising me with her vast knowledge of the workings of NPS.

Jane Wallis continues to minimize the enormous job of editor of the prospectus, postcards, and catalog.  She says it is already formatted on her computer!

Thank you all!  Beth Brooks, Show Chair
