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

Top Three Awards

Art enthusiasts from around the country attended the 32nd Annual CPSA convention in Brea, California in late July. Cheers erupted with the announcement of “What? No Chocolate?” by Suzanne Thompson (MI) as winner of the Best of Show and CIPPY trophy! Congratulations to Suzanne and the other award winners. You still have time to see the exhibition in person at the Brea Gallery until September 15, 2024, should you happen to be in the area.
