About Opportunity
The Pastel Society for Exhibition 2021 seeks the greatest dry media works that demonstrate a blend of conventional abilities and artistic creativity.
"Fresh Eyes" is the major topic of the Pastel Society exhibition in 2021. The topic was chosen to highlight the usage of dry media (pastels, oil pastels, charcoal, pencil, sanguine, and so on) and the significance of continually reviewing this process in connection to the context of modern art. The exhibit is particularly noteworthy for emphasizing how vital new and young artists may be to the evolution of this medium.
About Organizer
The British Federation of Artists (FBA), which was created in 1961, manages the Mall Galleries. The federation brings together the top nine artists' societies in the United Kingdom, all of which focus on figurative art and emphasize observation and drawing abilities in the works they present.
