Curtis Holder exhibits in the Pastel Society’s 127th Annual Exhibition

I am delighted to announce that two life drawings of dancer and creative DMAC will be featured in the Pastel Society Annual Exhibition 2026.

This year’s exhibition is themed ‘Direct Touch’, celebrating the expressive immediacy of dry media and the way artists transmit feeling directly from hand to paper.

The exhibition brings together work by established members, newly elected artists, and selected contributors from an open call, showcasing a diverse range of styles and subjects. Media on display include pastel, pencil, charcoal, crayon, chalk, and more.

The Pastel Society Annual Exhibition 2026 runs from 21 January to 7 February 2026 at the North, East & West Galleries, Mall Galleries, London. The exhibition is open daily from 10 am to 5 pm. Admission is £6, with free entry for Friends of Mall Galleries and under-25s; concessions are available. No booking is required.
