IAPS Sixteenth Biennial Convention coming 2026
Check out all the best from our last convention.
IAPS is committed to promoting pastel and honoring those who have achieved notable accomplishments in the pastel medium. Every two years at the IAPS Biennial Convention an awards ceremony is held during the Saturday Night Banquet to honor those artists and volunteers who have achieved award status.
The Master Circle was established in 2004 to honor those artists whose work has been accepted and/or given awards in specific IAPS Exhibitions. Qualifying exhibitions are the annual juried online exhibition and the annual juried physical exhibition.
In 2013, a new award level was created for artists who have already achieved the Master Circle status. The Eminent Pastelist designation (IAPS/EP) requires considerably more points to be accrued through acceptance and/or awards in IAPS exhibitions.
