IAPS Global Society Grants Return in 2027

IAPS member societies will have their next chance to apply for an IAPS Global Society Grant in early 2027. Applications open around January 1, 2027, and are due March 1, 2027.

IAPS will award six grants of $1,000 USD each. Funded projects are presented at an IAPS Gathering.

What the Grants Support

The grants give member societies the opportunity to advance pastel knowledge among their members and to spread appreciation of the pastel medium to the public. In the last cycle, that meant library exhibitions in New Mexico, a day of painting for first-time pastel artists in Alaska, a conservation-themed workshop in Texas, and a large-scale event in Pakistan. Read their stories.

Have an Idea? Bring It to Your Society

If you have an idea for a project that could benefit your society's members or bring pastel to a new audience, now is a good time to share it with your society's board.
