William Woods University—MAPS Members-Only Juried Show

August 19 through September 29, 2002 in Fulton, Missouri

Thirty-seven MAPS members currently have 113 works on exhibit at the Mildred M. Cox Gallery at William Woods University in Fulton, Missouri.  Many MAPS members traveled the 160+ miles from the Kansas City area to Fulton to attend the Artist Reception held Sunday, September 8^th, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.  An estimated 130 guests, students and patrons attended the Sunday event.  The show continues through September.

Juror for the competition was Madelyn-Ann C. Woolwich, Master Pastellist, Pastel Society of America.  She was impressed with the quality and expressiveness of the artwork submitted by MAPS members for the show.

Paul Clervi, Gallery Director and arts professor at WWU, “This is such a strong show, it has both a surprising breadth and depth.”  When he toured the show with WWU art instructors, directors and president, “They were amazed at the great versatility in painting styles and handling of pastels.  They had no idea the pastel medium could be used in so many different luminous ways,” reported Mr. Clervi. 

Good news heard by this reporter:  the WWU 2004 Calendar Committee unanimously voted to have MidAmerica Pastel Society back again for another show!
