APPLICATION AND INFORMATION

MEMBERSHIP LEVELS

The Pastel Society of America has over 1,000 artist members throughout the US and abroad. There are three levels of juried membership:
Associate, Signature, and Master Pastelist. The membership committee confers either Associate or Signature status to accepted applications. At any time during membership, an Associate Member may apply for Signature status through the jurying system. In an alternative route, an Associate Member in good standing automatically receives Signature status after being accepted in three PSA annual exhibitions.
