MOOS 2026

Every year our Members Only Online Show (MOOS) showcases beautiful works from some of the top pastel artists in the country and beyond. This year is no different. Thanks to the efforts of our esteemed judge this year, Loriann Signori, the 2026 MOOS International Exhibition is beautiful and impressive. We appreciate the efforts of our volunteers, MOOS Chair SA Kushinka, Webmaster Delcee Comfort Fields, and Treasurer Deborah Pepin who support all of the logistics involved in bringing the show to fruition. As always, Austin Hambly of ShowSubmit provides a fabulous, ever-improving online platform for us. Thank you, Austin! Finally, we reserve our greatest appreciation for all of the artists who entered their works into the show, whether or not you see them in the following pages. We all know that it takes courage to put our art out there for judgment and comparison. As exciting as acceptance and acknowledgment can be, we also know that true art is a personal journey, a way to affirm life and an individual exploration. Thank you all for sharing your journey with us.
