Welcome
The Connecticut Pastel Society is a statewide fine arts organization with a national outreach. CPSSM programs are funded and run by artists and their affiliates intent on increasing awareness of pastel as
a fine art medium. The CPSSM organization now has a tax-exempt status and is therefore eligible to receive tax-deductible charitable contributions.
