The UK Coloured Pencil Society Announces 20th Anniversary Gala Exhibition

The UK Coloured Pencil Society (UKCPS) has promoted coloured pencils as a fine art medium, supported artists who use them, and championed the art of drawing for 20 years.

To celebrate this milestone year, members of the UKCPS invited creatives from around the world to exhibit alongside them in their 20th Anniversary Gala Exhibition.

The exhibition will be open from Thursday 14 to Sunday 24 October at the Bargehouse, Oxo Tower Wharf, London, every day from 11am to 6pm and will be free to visit. 

The prizes will include the Best Picture Award, worth £1,000, the Runner Up, £500, and the Colored Pencil Society of America Award for Excellence, $500.

Alongside the main exhibition of 250 shortlisted works, the UKCPS will be presenting 2020 Reframed, a selection of artworks that qualified for their 2020 Open Exhibition, but were never before exhibited in person due to the pandemic.
