Mattie Kelly Art Center Galleries- Degas National Pastel Society’s 19th Biennial Art Exhibition

Mattie Kelly Art Center Galleries at Northwest Florida State College is delighted to present the Degas National Pastel Society’s 19th Biennial Art Exhibition. Founded in 1984, the Degas Pastel Society is a non-profit organization that promotes public awareness of the pastel medium. Pastels have been used since the 15th century and became very popular during the Renaissance in Western Europe. MKAC Galleries will present 100 artworks selected by the Pastel Society’s guest juror Ms. Liz Haywood-Sullivan, an accomplished representational pastel artist known for her Landscape paintings. 
 
Join us for the opening reception on November 10, 2022, at MKAC Galleries from 6-8 p.m. Ms. Haywood-Sullivan will speak and award artist prizes. Many artists will be on hand to talk about the medium of pastel and their artwork. The event is free, and all are welcome.
