Welcome to the IAPS Eleventh Biennial Convention!
Tuesday, June 2 - Sunday, June 7, 2015
You know how it goes with computers, everything takes longer than you have planned and you can’t rush things! Our new online registration program will not be ready and fully tested by October 8.
REGISTRATION for IAPS 2015 Convention is delayed. The NEW DATE will be announced on this website and by IAPS EMAIL NEWS, two weeks prior to the actual Registration Opening date..
Please note that Hotel Albuquerque will also be delayed. Both Convention Registration and Hotel Albuquerque reservations will start the same time/day. If you do not receive IAPS EMAIL NEWS notices and wish to sign up please click here.
IAPS appreciates your patience as we work to provide you with the best possible convention experience, including a new, easier, and more comprehensive registration process. We all look forward to seeing you in Albuquerque next June!
Thank you,
Liz Haywood-Sullivan
President, IAPS
We are pleased to introduce you to the exciting 2015 IAPS Eleventh Biennial Convention program, full of demonstrations, workshops, pastel materials, exhibitions and gatherings! Our team has been working since the end of the last convention to bring you the very best pastel has to offer. We have scheduled lively demonstrations and must-do workshops from the best instructors who are coming from around the world to teach at IAPS. Your favorite pastel and art material vendors will be here with venerable products as well as new temptations. And the pastel paintings displayed at the PastelWorld Exhibitions are not only the best in the medium but will provide inspiration and encouragement.
Many of you will be new to the IAPS Convention and we extend to you a huge welcome to our pastel party. For those who have attended previous conventions, you will see that there are some changes in the daily activities and overall schedule, including new items, and a streamlined program based on your feedback. As a result we expect many people may decide to arrive on Wednesday or earlier. So even if you are a seasoned conventioneer, please take a minute to read what is new and different for 2015.
