Pastel Society 123rd Annual Exhibition 2022

The Pastel Society's Annual Exhibition for 2022 opened to the public at the Mall Galleries last Thursday.

The 123rd Annual Exhibition has a theme of ‘Fresh Eyes’.

One of the major regrets of my current post-surgery status (mobilising on one leg only for 12 weeks!) is that I can't visit any art exhibitions - and this is one I always very much look forward to visiting.

However, if like me you can't view in person, you can view digital versions of the artworks selected for and hung in the exhibition.

This is an informative introduction to the exhibition by the new President - in which he highlights how the East Gallery which, as well as being a gallery, will also be a studio space where people can learn about pastels and how to use them during the course of the exhibition. This is a listing of the full events programme

You can see all the artworks on:

• the 2022 Exhibition Gallery on the Pastel Society website - which is new and fabulous!
• the dedicated page on the Mall Galleries website

You can also view 

• the award-winning images on a dedicated link
• the exhibition catalogue on Issuu which includes images of some of the members' artwork and the listing for all artworks in the exhibition by artists' name (in alphabetical order). Use the icon bottom right to make the catalogue full size and readable. This provides
• title
• media used
• framed and unframed size
• price

Plus artworks in the exhibition are being posted on:

• the Pastel Society Twitter account
• the Pastel Society Facebook Account

Well done to my friend Felicity House for her wonderful photos of the exhibition. She knew I wouldn't be there!

Plus the Mall Galleries are also using their Twitter account and Facebook Page to promote the exhibition.

For those who can visit, there are series of events

A buzz of activity in our Studio Workshops at @mallgalleries this week! Join #PastelSociety Vice President Simon Hodges today for ‘Sketchbooks, Questions & Exploration’, 11am-1pm and 2-4pm. The events continue throughout the #exhibition until 26th Feb🎨https://t.co/EJapCVyhr5 pic.twitter.com/ksRuZ6dzk4
