According to PSNC president\, Daphne Boder\, the goal of the statewide competition is to collaborate with the other regional societies in promoting the beauty of the soft pastel medium. Artwork on display will showcase the talents of these member artists some of whom have earned “master “status both nationally and internationally.  Winners are awarded cash and art prizes sponsored by North Carolina merchants and member groups. \nSoft pastel is a loved medium used by many modern artists such as Zaria Foreman and Deborah Stewart and classical greats including Vermeer\, Degas and Renoir. Prized for its brilliant color\, pastel was first used in the sixteenth century\, notably by Leonardo da Vinci. It flourished in the eighteenth century\, again in the late nineteenth century\, and remains popular today. \nAbout Pastel Society of North Carolina: \nFounded in 1996\, the goal of the society is to provide fellowship and encouragement\, promote standards of excellence in the use of the medium and further the education of the general community to the intrinsic beauty and permanency of art created from soft pastels. \n\nAbout the Live Music: Triangle Jazz Orchestra \nThe Triangle Jazz Orchestra is a big band composed of enthusiastic musicians from across the Triangle area of North Carolina. We perform the great American music of the jazz masters of the Swing Era\, including Count Basie\, Duke Ellington\, Glenn Miller\, Artie Shaw\, Benny Goodman\, and Benny Carter as well as more recent jazz and blues tunes. Our 20 musicians including a vocalist play in the traditional big band format with a full horn section for rich harmonies and a complete rhythm section for a driving\, danceable beat.
