MEETINGS

We have two groups of artists that meet regularly, one on the Front Range (Denver) and one on the Western Slope (Grand Junction). Both share friendships, information on pastel supplies, demos, and methods to promote sales.

Front Range Meetings

The Front Range group meets the second Saturday the month at 1:00 pm. Board meetings are every other meeting. Please see our listings below and our monthly e-newsletters for details.
