The Education Summit


The PDPA Education Summit is an event designed to help PDPA Professionals improve skills, become more knowledgeable, & ultimately more successful by connecting with potential clients.


We are celebrating higher education & the sharing of knowledge in the professional decorative painting community.


This event is about proactive compassionate learning & the nurturing of success within the PDPA family.

 

Working hard for love of craft and community since 2003

 

When the painting guilds of the past disbanded, the people involved went in many different directions: Some towards the formation of unions, keeping control of labor and brokering it, others left to freely work in their trade. Like-minded people congregated for the love of craft and knowledge to form groups of students and teachers with collective interest in elevating their profession. These eventually became universities.


The PDPA is one such specialized association that has been formed for love of craft and knowledge with the intent to strengthen the bond between Decorative painting and Architecture. The PDPA helps foster relationships that lead to the advancement of the decorative painting trade. Come be a part of the biggest grass roots movement in the decorative painting trade since the guilds of the 15th century.
