This blog is a repository of information on workshops, classes, exhibitions and, generally, anything art-related that the Portrait Society Ambassadors want to share. Generally, they are posted here because they are NOT ENDORSED NOR PROMOTED by the Portrait Society of America, but they are worthwhile to the interest and development of interested artists. Each ambassador contributes input from their area so that all may be informed and/or participate.
