Plan Ahead
Stay tuned to learn whose artwork our juror, Julie Perlin Lee, selects for the CPSA 32nd Annual International Exhibition! A list of the lucky artists will be posted on our website soon after May 1, 2024.
We hope many of the exhibiting artists will attend the awards banquet on Friday, August 2. Excitement mounts as everyone waits to learn the winner of the prestigious $5,000 Best of Show and CIPPY award! Don’t wait to hear if you won an award—make plans to attend the convention and banquet well in advance.
