Colored Pencil Society Of America District Chapter 103 Chicago At Your Service!
Who Is The Colored Pencil Society of America and What Do They Do?
The Colored Pencil Society of America (CPSA) is a nonprofit organization established in 1990. It is the first and only arts organization that is devoted exclusively to promoting artists who work in the colored pencil medium.
CPSA sponsors an annual international exhibition and convention in major metropolitan areas throughout the country. The CPSA parent organization publishes a membership directory plus a magazine, To The Point, which is sent to all members twice a year. To The Point provides members with a network of communication and educational opportunities. CPSA has numerous district chapters throughout the United States.
The CPSA Chicago District Chapter 103 was formed in 1993. It is now one of the largest chapters with members from across the country. We generally meet 4 times per year. We hold the Chicago Annual Exhibition of Colored Pencil Drawings in October.
Our meetings consist of things like colored pencil demonstrations on techniques and supplies, supportive critiques before exhibits, workshops, art critiques, and discussions about all things related to colored pencils.
