Step Up for Pastels 2013 ~ Gallery 113 Santa Barbara!

We are back in Santa Barbara! 13 Members of the Pastel Society of the Gold Coast will be showing in Santa Barbara at Gallery 113, beginning on November 4th!!

Our big reception is the night of the Santa Barbara's First Thursday Art Walk, on November 7! 

Gallery 113 is in an utterly charming location, with restaurants, shops and is just steps away from the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, on State Street. It's a great way to spend the day!

The show will be up until November 30th, at which point we will be having a closing reception! Lots of opportunities to see some wonderful art, upstairs at the gallery, and enjoy a beautiful day in Santa Barbara!

Everything has beauty

but

not everyone sees it.

What a lovely place to have a show! ... Gallery 113 in Santa Barbara. Some of our members were able to take advantage of a wonderful opportunity to show their work in this lovely space. Have a look!

This is at the closing reception. Isn't it a great space? Our artists work was upstairs ... thus the name "Step Up for Pastels."

Some of our members, upstairs at the closing. A great group!

The gallery was in the "La Arcada Courtyard" on State Street in Santa Barbara. Such a charming area!

I've shown just a sampling of our members' work but there will be much more to come and one of the great things we have (not to boast, but it's true!) is a huge variety of styles and subject matter in the group. I am so excited to share their work!

Looking forward to our next show in Ojai, California on November 3rd! 

More information to come on that!

The purpose of art is 

washing the dust of daily life

off our souls.
