CPSA 32nd Annual Juried Exhibition

July 31 - September 15, 2024

This annual international exhibition returns to Brea to showcase the amazing possibilities of colored pencils. Previously seen in 2019, The Colored Pencil Society of America sets the standard for works that challenge preconceptions of the medium. It offers over $20,000 in cash awards, including a prestigious Best of Show (CIPPY) Award. In addition to the gallery exhibition, the selected artwork and award winners are featured on the CPSA website and in the CPSA news magazine.
