CCL GSO Campus to Host Public Artists’ Reception Featuring Local NC Artists

CCL hosts their spring reception on Friday, April 25, 2025 with the Raleigh-Durham and Winston-Salem chapters of the Colored Pencil Society of America. The reception will showcase the work of regional artists with pieces currently on display at the Greensboro campus. Founded in 1990, the Colored Pencil Society of America (CPSA) is a nonprofit organization for colored pencil enthusiasts working to promote colored pencils as a fine art medium. The organization strives to educate others about it, encourage innovation with its use, and elevate the medium to astounding heights.  

The exhibit will be available for viewing during the public reception on April 25 from 5 to 7 p.m. EDT, at CCL’s Greensboro location.

“This is not your child’s colored pencil art project!” said CCL art curator Laura Gibson.  “These works are a master class in taking a medium to the next level. The Center recognizes the deep connections between art, leadership and innovation, and this show perfectly illustrates how art can change your perspective or preconceived notions of capabilities…of people or a pencil!”
