IAPS is pleased to announce a new event at the 
2015 Convention!
ProArtCritque has been invited to provide personal one-on-one critiques by professional artists. 
ProArtCritique was founded by artist and instructor Desmond O’Hagan, and all scheduling and payments will go directly through him.
Please direct all communications to ProArtCritique and not to IAPS.

The International Association 
of Pastel Societies
welcomes

as an exciting new event to the
11th IAPS Convention!

Critiques will be scheduled 
Thursday, June 4 - Sunday, June 7, 2015.


Convention members can now sign up for one-on-one personal critiques from
nationally and internationally known artists and workshop instructors.
These artists include Lorenzo Chavez, Alan Flattmann, Richard McKinley,
Desmond O'Hagan, Debora Stewart, and Sally Strand.

Each session (approx. 20 minutes) allows critiques for up to three paintings which can be original artwork or displayed on electronic devices (no cell phones please). This is also an opportunity to get to know these artists for future workshops. The fee is $60 for one session with an artist of your choice.

It's simple; contact ProArtCritique at proartcritique@earthlink.net to receive the individual schedule of the artist of your choosing. Pick a time, and pay by credit card through PayPal.  You will receive a session confirmation, and you're all set!

The ProArtCritique artists are not available the entire four days,
so session times are limited.

Please sign up now to reserve your session.
