Congratulations to Rebecca Margolese-Malin for having her painting “Bird at the Beach” chosen for the promotional post card. The Carrboro Gallery coordinator loved the whimsey and theme of this painting, and thought it was perfect for a summer show. If you have paintings in the Carrboro show, there are post cards available at the front desk area of the gallery that you can pick up and mail out to your list of contacts.

TO ALL - please join us at the Reception in Carrboro this coming Friday evening, July 11 from 6-9 PM!

The International Association of Pastel Societies website has a brand new look overall, with more emphasis on artwork and an easy method for people to find societies.

Please visit the site and take a look at our society’s information in the Member Societies listings, if you find anything that needs to be corrected, please send the information directly to Maggie Price.

They are working to determine ways the IAPS web site could be more useful to its member societies, and welcome your input and ideas.

Enjoy the new site!
