The First Coast Pastel Society is based in northeast Florida, covering Jacksonville and St. Augustine, and has grown to include other areas of Florida and Georgia. The Society was formed by artist, Lyn Asselta in January 2012 as a non-profit organization.

Membership to the organization provides an opportunity to exhibit your pastel paintings, attend educational activities such as workshops, demonstrations, critiques, plein air events as well as fellowship with other like-minded artists.

General meetings are held every other month from January to June.
