Saturday, October 8th - 1:00pm - 3:00pm - Quarterly Chapter Zoom Meeting.

DEMO DAY!!!

By popular demand of our chapter members, our 4th-quarter chapter Zoom meeting will be dedicated to demonstrations by not one, but two different artists, each representing one of CPSA's Corporate Sponsor companies.  Mandy Peltier, CPSA, CPX, representing Winsor & Newton, and David R. Becker, a well-known Chicago-based artist, representing HK Holbein, Inc., are excited to share their respective high-quality colored pencils with us. This will be an early afternoon meeting in order to accommodate the schedules of both artists.  Below are brief artist profiles along with their respective website links.
