Pikes Peak Pastel Society presents
Garden of the Gods December 2024 Member’s Show
A Member’s Exhibit
We would like to invite all Pikes Peak Pastel Society (PPPS) members to submit their artwork to our Pikes Peak Pastel Society Pastel Exhibition: Garden of the Gods August 2024 Member’s Show. The exhibit begins on December 3, 2024 and ends on December 30, 2024 (dates are subject to adjustment) at the Garden of the Gods Visitors Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Eligibility
Open to PPPS members who paint using soft pastel. (80% of the piece entered must be soft (dry) pastel; no oil pastels.)
We recommend that paintings be no larger than 25 inches wide by 36 inches high (including frame). However, note that most of the traffic at the Garden of the Gods Visitor and Nature Center during the month of December will consist of tourists who are likely to purchase works that will fit into suitcases, so smaller works are encouraged. No nudes, giclée prints, or digital artwork will be accepted.
Artwork is not required to have mats. However, if the artwork is matted, all mats must be light and neutral mats; no colored mats allowed. Artwork must be original – no work copied from published work, copyrighted images or photos taken by anyone other than the artist without permission.
Artwork must be ready to hang: framed, pre-wired, and presented in a professional manner (no saw-tooth hangers).
All members whose paintings are accepted into this show will be expected to help with the activities surrounding the exhibition, such as bringing food for the artists reception, gallery sitting on weekends, painting demonstrations, and more.
Selection is not guaranteed.
Space is limited, if not able to show all the works, preference will be given to PPPS Members who did not show in August. Artists may not remove paintings during the exhibit. Works juried into the show and not delivered for the exhibit will prohibit the artist’s entry in future PPPS sponsored exhibits for two years.
Fees
Entry fees are $10 for PPPS members. Artists may submit two paintings and may or may not be able to exhibit both.
All entries must be for sale. Payment will be made directly by the buyer to Garden of the Gods Visitors Center as an agent for PPPS. PPPS will receive the sales proceeds from Garden of the Gods Visitors Center, deduct appropriate sales tax and pay the net proceeds to the artist. Each artist is responsible for paying a 30% donation from the gross sales price to Garden of the Gods Visitors Center. This donation must be sent within 15 days of the receipt of the proceeds from any sales.
