Pastel Society of NC

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope y’all have had a wonderful holiday season and are looking forward to the clean slate that a new year always presents.

Last year we had a very busy year: we hosted the Statewide show, had two member shows (Golden Belt Arts and Ambleside Gallery), sponsored Pure Color and enjoyed a wide range of programming. This year will be a quieter year but we are already looking forward to great Zoom programs, beginning this Saturday, January 4. Terri Ford will be with us from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. Please remember that we have changed our Saturday meetings to the first Saturday of the month.

I would like to present you with the new board for 2025. I am very grateful to everyone who has stepped up to volunteer in these positions. I believe the strength of this group will bring great ideas to the PSNC.
