Art Center of Morro Bay proudly presents “Out of Bounds!” exhibition offered by The Pastel Society of the West Coast’s as their first open juried exhibition, an exhibition that fills both levels of the gallery.
The Pastel Society of the West Coast’s Out of Bounds! Exhibition goes beyond the traditional use of pastel medium. This exciting exhibition of unique works breaks out of the bounds of time-honored pastel expressions as all juried artworks are a combination of pastel and one or more other media in a two-dimensional format. The competition breaks the 80% rule for traditional pastel exhibits requiring the entries to be at a maximum of 50% (30% minimum) pastel to be combined with one or more other mediums creating two-dimensional works of art.
Awards ceremony and reception with renowned British pastelist, Tony Allain, Saturday, April 19th from 2 to 4 pm.
