Word from the president<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Myles Johnston<\/h3>\n

Welcome to the 25th edition of \u2018Les Pastellistes\u2019, International juried exhibition 2020. The exhibition will run from December 15th through to March 15th 2021. Due to the pandemic, the exhibition is online this year, and hopefully next year we will be able to return to our regular vernissage and gallery exhibition, held at a prestigious art gallery in the heart of Montreal.<\/p>\n

I am truly honoured and humbled to say that we have received a record number of submissions this year, 500 in all, and from 17 countries around the world! Of the 500 entries, 171 paintings were selected by a jury panel of 3 well known Master pastellists: Sally Strand, Lana Ballot and Brian Bailey.<\/p>\n

18 amazing paintings were then chosen by our award judges and Master pastellists: Anna J. Wainright, Kathy Hildebrandt and Charles Peer. Over 10 000$ worth of cash and material prizes have been awarded to the winners!<\/p>\n

On behalf of the PSEC Executive Committee, I wish to thank both jury teams for their generosity, dedication and time devoted to the very difficult task of selecting 171 paintings for the exhibition, and for choosing the 18 award winners. Congratulations to all of the award winners, and to each and every one of the participating artists from around the world!<\/p>\n

We also wish to invite you to visit our special Masters\u2019 gallery, as well as our Jury gallery!<\/p>\n

I am excited to announce yet another plus this year! We have a beautiful PSEC catalogue of the exhibition which includes all of the participating artists and their paintings, complete with a list of the winners. This catalogue can be viewed and purchased by clicking on the link. I have the pleasure of thanking \u00c9liane B\u00e9rub\u00e9 who volunteered to put this wonderful catalogue together for us.<\/p>\n

Special thanks and gratitude go to our dedicated PSEC committee members and everyone who volunteered their valuable time and skills in order to make this online exhibition a success. We`d like to thank Fannie Blaney, our graphic designer for our publicity and social media posters, and to Nancy Poirier and Marie-H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Archambault of PrestigeWeb who worked long hours and overtime to set up our website and exhibition page! Lastly, I simply must thank my mother, Michelle Bonneville, who helped with a multitude of various tasks and is always there for me.<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy the exhibition, and I wish everyone a happy, healthy and safe holiday season.<\/p>\n

Sincerely, Myles Johnston<\/p>\n
