Education, community, and exposure for artists who work in colored pencil

ATTENTION!

The Brea Gallery has informed us that the 32nd Annual CPSA International Exhibition starts July 31, not July 20, as previously stated, and runs until September 15, 2024.

Join us July 31–August 3 for the convention at the Embassy Suites in Brea, California. You’ll want to see the exhibition in person, hang out with other cp artists, take workshops, and attend the banquet when we announce the winner of the prestigious $5,000 Best of Show and CIPPY award. Register soon—our discounted hotel rooms usually sell out before the July 8 registration deadline.
