We as a chapter are part of the national group, CPSA, the Colored Pencil Society of America. It was founded over twenty years ago and grew into an organization that now has a yearly International Convention and Exhibition in various cities across the country. This International Convention brings members together annually to network with other artists across the country, attend the membership meeting, attend the Exhibition and Awards Banquet, and take workshops from notable artists in this field. Members who cannot attend this convention, are able to see the judged results of the competition on the CPSA website and through the CPSA publication.

How Our Chapter Started

Our chapter began with a number of colored pencil enthusiasts and their desire to share and nurture their love of colored pencil art. Founders Bill Shoemaker and Hanneke Jevons, along with six charter members, formed the local group. They requested acceptance and became a chapter in August 2005.

"We are not street performers, we are educators. We are not parades, we are historic programs. This is not an exercise in free speech, this is an opportunity to educate.

crisp-ellertBuilt in honor of Dr. JoAnn Crisp-Ellert and her husband, Dr. Robert Ellert, the Crisp-Ellert Art Museum offers Flagler College students and the Northeast Florida community a venue for fostering knowledge and a deep appreciation of contemporary art. As an educational resource for the College, the Museum exhibits regional, national and international artists, and provides opportunities for critical engagement and exposure to a variety of exhibitions and personal interactions with visiting artists. The Museum challenges students, the Flagler community and the public to cultivate individual creativity, critical reflection, historical consciousness and respect for the free exchange of ideas. In this spirit, the Museum also hosts public programs, including artist talks, readings, panel discussions and film series that provide a platform for vital interdisciplinary dialogue.
