The Philadelphia Pastel Society was founded in 2019 by a group of local artists who had a passion for painting with soft pastels.  They wanted to provide exhibition and educational opportunities for regional artists who work in the soft pastel medium.  The non-profit 501(c)(3) organization has rapidly grown to over 100 members, and is a member of the International Association of Pastel Societies
