This annual gallery exhibition takes place each summer and is exclusively for works done in 100% colored pencil. It offers over $20,000 in cash awards, including a prestigious Best of Show (CIPPY) Award. In addition to the gallery exhibition, the selected artwork and award winners are featured on the CPSA website and in the CPSA news magazine.
Each year, the show is held in a different city to give more people the opportunity to enjoy colored pencil as a fine art medium. The annual CPSA convention also takes place near the gallery during this period.
