How to Join

Membership is open to individuals 18 years of age or older, residing in any country. Artists at every skill level are eligible—we do not “jury in” members.

We encourage you to become part of our supportive group of colored pencil artists. CPSA will enable you to network with others working with this medium, help you become a better artist, and provide opportunities to have your work appear in CPSA exhibitions and publications.
