Jo Adel Dalton Inducted Into PSA

Artist Jo Adel Dalton was recently inducted into the Pastel Society of America.

Founded in 1972 by Flora B. Giffuni, The Pastel Society of America is the oldest pastel society in the country and is largely responsible for the current renaissance of pastels in American art. The society's annual exhibitions at The National Arts Club in New York are the premier event for pastel artists in this country and abroad.

PSA encourages artistic advancement through prestigious awards distributed during its annual exhibitions. Pastelists showing technical acumen and creative use of pastel techniques are awarded prizes for their achievements. Members winning three cumulative awards are named PSA Master Pastelists. Each year one noted artist is elected into PSA's Hall of Fame.

In recent years, PSA has been honored guests in exhibitions in Italy, France, Russia and China.
