Signature Member

A Signature Member may use the initials "CPS" after her or his name, and their name will be included in the list on our Signature Gallery page. In addition they may have up to five images of their paintings on the CPS website for an additional annual fee of $30.

For those Signature members who already have their images and bio in our signature gallery, please send our membership chairman $60 if renewing for the year.

Signature member status can be attained in two ways:
1. At least thirty days after becoming a member of the Connecticut Pastel Society, but within one of the months noted below, a member may submit five digital images, a recent resume, a fee of $25.00 and an SASE to the Signature Artist Committee for consideration. For an additional fee of $30.00 Signature members can have five images of their paintings on the CPS website.

2. A CPS member who wins three awards in the CT Pastel Society Renaissance in Pastel National Exhibition, which is an open, juried show, will receive Signature status. This requires a fee of $25.

• Applications for Signature Membership will be viewed three times a year: April, August and November. Submissions should be received in the months prior to review: March, July and October. Please do not send them except in these months.

• Please email Studiofedart@aol.com and Frank Federico will tell you where to send the information.

• Please note that all Signature Member submissions must now be digital images on CD (formerly slides). Save your images as high-quality jpg files with dimensions of at least 700 pixels on the long side and a resolution of 300 dpi.
