With the smells and sights of the spring season beginning tostimulate our senses, so does the explosion of the arts known tomany in the Sandhills as the Palustris Festival.

This year’s version, the second annual, will benefit substantiallyfrom its inaugural opening act 12 months ago, but has added

pressure, comparable to a breakout musicalartist’s second single after a successful launchfirst time out.

Isn’t that like life’s follow-up performances —expectations are very high, and you don’t havethe element of surprise on your side to quellthose high hopes to begin with. But that’s theprice of success, and, yes, the 2010 version ofthe Palustris Festival was quite the artisticsensation. Might I share a few facts with you to

illustrate that point?� More than 100 events at venues throughout Moore County;� A full cadre of arts, covering visual, performing and literary;� Enthusiastic artists, greeters and venue operators;� More than 5,000 individual attendees;� Visitors from across North Carolina and other Mid-Atlantic

states;� Widespread, enthusiastic reception by media outlets

throughout the state.With all that said, you ask, how do we exactly gauge the success

of a new arts festival? Great question and, like any good promoter,I’ll do my very best to bob and weave around a straight answer.You see, the expectations and, thus, rating criteria for a community-based festival are multifaceted and open to the interpretation ofeach of us in Moore County.

Our steering committee had to use some metrics to help guideus along the way, so here’s a short list we’ve established going intothe second year of the event (you may have more to add):attendance (total and at each event), review/feedback, mediareaction, quality of performances/events, extended contribution tothe community and, finally, economic impact.

The last two criteria listed here you may not have expected, butlet me assure you they are significant. Festivals, first and foremost,provide entertainment value for both residents and visitors (moreabout the visitors in a bit). But, let’s face it, we’ve got 100-pluschannels of entertainment staring back at us every evening from a42-inch or larger black box.

There is significant competition for our entertainment time eachand every day. If there is not more to a display of our artisticachievements over a long weekend than just “a new entertainmentformat,” then we’re doomed to a very short legacy for the PalustrisFestival. There’s got to be more to make it viable and fresh eachyear.

Yes, it requires some redeeming value that goes beyond theinitial stimulus to the senses. Case in point. If you attended theterrific “Greeting of the Train” event in downtown Southern Pineslast year, you were entertained with speakers and music, but youalso left with a new appreciation of how our communitiesconnected with the highly anticipated arrival of trains and the all-important guests on board. Not only did we welcome them, but weeagerly shared our history and culture with them the very momentthey stepped onto Tar Heel soil. It was an emotional connectionthat I dare say does not exist today in any form.

Boy, did we know how to roll out the red carpet! Reading about

that is one thing — seeing and hearing it re-created is an entirelydifferent experience altogether.

This year’s version of the festival adds a new element to the mix,one that extends the impact of the arts to a very important audience— the children of the Sandhills. You see, sharing of the arts adult-to-adult is wonderful. But, with the addition of adult-to-childinteraction, we’ve extended the reach and impact of Palustris.

Having that as a goal and making it happen are two differentthings entirely. The “making it happen” part happened like this:Steering committee and community activist Janet Kenworthy had abrainstorm. Simply put, we have the artists here for the festival forfour days. Why not have these same artists present their particularform of art to our kids, in our schools, while they are here? Brilliant!

Part two was finding the money to make it happen, andso an industrious group of fundraisers put asponsorship program together and, vôilá,we now have a comprehensiveprogram that reaches almost all ourchildren in public elementary andmiddle schools. Needless to say,we are all very excited about thisnew component to the Festivaland we thank all those involvedin making it happen, includingour sponsors, who arepresented for all to see atwww.palustrisfestival.com.

Should a celebration of thearts have economic expectationsto match the other, moreobvious ones? Our steeringcommittee thinks so. You see,sharing these wonderful eventswith each of our neighbors makesus feel good inside. Sharing themwith our fellow North Caroliniansshould give us a different kind ofwarm feeling, one that helps bringneeded funds to our town and countycoffers, which, in turn, helps keep our taxrates low here in Moore County.

Collective visitor spending generates enough inlocal and state taxes to save the equivalent of morethan $1,000 annually per household. No, we arenot handing out checks at Palustris, but we arehelping our tourism economy by bringing innew visitors who bring their all-importantdollars with them to spend in our hotels,restaurants, retail shops and, yes, atPalustris events. The broader our reach forFestival attendees, the more we help oureconomy and help grow the event. FestivalEconomics 101 is really that simple.

So there you have it — the events areall lined up and artists are ready toperform. Expectations are high, andrightfully so. What we need now is you.Go to the website and plan your itineraryfor the weekend. With more than 100events, it’s a great opportunity to expandyour horizons and explore arts in areas

you’ve not experienced. And while you are out, maybe it’s time tovisit that restaurant you’ve never been to, but have always wantedto taste-test.

It’s your festival, so get out and Palustris with your friends andneighbors. See you out there!

Caleb Miles is the president/CEO of the Convention & VisitorsBureau Pinehurst/Southern Pines/Aberdeen Area.

Visitors will be able to take home their ownpiece of Moore County at this year’s PalustrisFestival.Nancy Owens Brewer, of Owens OriginalPottery in northern MooreCounty, has made limitededition tumblers and mugs tocommemorate the festival’ssecond year of celebrating thearea’s vibrant arts community.Each piece features arendering of the late MooreCounty artist John FosterFaulk’s original pen and inkillustration, “Pinus Palustris,”which is the official logo of thePalustris Festival.Jane Demay hand-paintedthe logo on each of the pieces— 50 tumblers and 50 mugs.Brewer added that being apart of Palustris is a way to celebrateMoore County’s pottery heritage.“As potters, we like artsy things,” she said.“It’s an honor to be asked to do an event like

this.”Owens Original Pottery has committed todoing a signature festival piece each year.Though her tumblers and mugs are very

popular pieces, Brewer thinks shemay branch out and turn adifferent piece each year forthe festival.“They’re good sellers,” shesaid. “We’ve been doing thatfor a long time. We’ll justwait and see.”The pieces will be on sale,

The choices are awesome among the morethan 100 separate events celebrating thevisual, literary and performing arts at thesecond annual Palustris Festival, March 24-27.

Coordinated by the Arts Council of MooreCounty and the Convention and VisitorsBureau of Pinehurst, Southern Pines andAberdeen, the schedule for the four days of theFestival really does have something foreveryone’s taste.

Special Events is one of several categoriesfound on the Festival’s website that thecoordinators have assigned to help peoplechoose. However, in some cases, the lines getblurred when a “visual art” or a “lecture” or“tour” designation can also describe some ofthe impressive special events that are plannedby the many area galleries, businesses andother organizations, such as SandhillsCommunity College or the Moore CountyHistorical Association and the WeymouthCenter for the Arts and Humanities.

For example, the Festival gets off to a start onThursday, March 24, with the first three visualart events that are all special in their own way.Early risers can have breakfast with Pinehurstartist Kathleen Miler at Artist Alley as she sharesher passion for painting. Or they can take inthe Art in the Garden sculpture exhibit

sponsored by the Sandhills Horticultural Societyon the campus of Sandhills CommunityCollege. A third choice is the display of WilliamMangum art and Ben Owen pottery at theCampbell House Gallery.

Mangum is one of the most respectedand collected artists in North Carolina,and his work has made its way intoprivate andcorporatecollections, aswell as beingshown innotable muse-ums andexhibitions inthe UnitedStates andabroad. BenOwen III hasmade pottery since he was 13 yearsold at the site where his grandfatherand father established the Old Plank RoadPottery in the Seagrove area. Ben has beencommissioned to do works for many prominentfigures, including a special gift for musicianJames Taylor, as a lifetime achievement awardon behalf of the University of North Carolina.

During the weekend, history buffs have

several special events from which to choose.One, to be given at Sandhills CommunityCollege on Friday evening, tells the story of

Jugtown as it elaborates on thehistory of the Owen family.

This cultural theaterproduction focuses onan account of potterymaking as toldthrough the words ofVernon Owen, BenOwen III and othermembers of thefamily.Accompanying thepresentation will bemusic and a potterydemonstration.On Saturday

Special EventMoore County Historical Association On Board for Palustris

Slash marks can be seen on treesthat were once tapped for the sapthat was made into turpentine.

The Shaw House

With the Palustris Festival just around thecorner, Tom and Mary Lou Bernett areannouncing the return of An Affair of the Arts— Dinner, Dance and Cabaret, one of lastyear’s most popular and successful Palustrisevents.In fact, with more than 100 events in last

year’s arts festival, An Affair of the Artsrepresented less than one percent of thefestival offerings, but with close to 500 peoplein attendance and more on the waiting list,the dinner dance event was responsible fornearly 10 percent of the total Palustris Festivalattendance.This year’s Affair of the Arts will be held at

the Pinehurst Fair Barn on Friday, March 25,and will again offer a sparkling, black tieevening of dining, dancing and entertain-ment.The event was originally conceived by the

Bernetts as a focal point for the inauguralyear of the festival. They felt Palustris shouldhave a public gala ball to provide a sense ofcommunity to a festival that is, by definition,scattered among dozens of venues aroundthe region.In reviewing last year, some small logistical

changes have been made to help make the2011 event even more enjoyable.This year’s dinner will feature a deluxe

buffet prepared by chef Chai Phasukkan ofTable on the Green restaurant. Chef Chai ishighly experienced at serving quality food tolarge groups of people. The buffet will ensurethat food is fresh and hot for everyone.Also, the buffet will be open for two hours

to accommodate those who would prefer toenjoy socializing and dancing before having alater, more relaxed dinner. It is hoped that thisextra time will prevent all the guests fromfeeling a need to rush to the buffet at the startof the evening.Due to increases in food costs, this year’s

banquet will require a $10 dinner surchargeadded to the $25 admission, making the totalevent price $35 per person — still considereda remarkably good value for a black tieevening of food, dancing and entertainment.Once again, a beer and wine cash bar will

benefit the highly regarded “Adopt-a-Dancer”scholarship program of the CarolinaPerforming Arts Center in Southern Pines.Another change is that last year’s seating of

480 will be reduced to a maximum of 400 atthis year’s event for comfort and safetyreasons. Last year’s ball was completely soldout more than two weeks prior to thebeginning of the arts festival and with thereduced seating, it is expected that this year’sevent will sell out even sooner.

Entertainment IncludesLocal DignitariesEntertainment will again be anchored by

Tom Bernett’s popular Swing Street Band. Theband is made up of some of the bestprofessional musicians in central Carolina andplays a cross-generational mix of dancemusic, with an emphasis on swing, big band

From a delightful play about family to aperformance by an internationally recognizeddance company based in Durham, theater anddance is well represented at the second annualPalustris Festival, a celebration of the visual,literary and performing arts, March 24-27.

Coordinated by the Arts Council of MooreCounty and the Convention and Visitors Bureauof Pinehurst, Southern Pines and Aberdeen, thesetwo events are supplemented by a CoffeehouseTheater experience, storytelling by a popular well-respected actor, and a production that showcasesthe talents of students and faculty of the SandhillsTheatre Arts Renaissance School.

In addition, the theater offerings include a one-man show depicting what happens when aspectator transforms himself into multiplecharacters, and an in-depth look at the work ofGeorge Moses Horton, the first African-Americanto publish a book in the South. The latter eventtakes place at the Weymouth Center for the Artsand Humanities and concentrates on a man whoat the time of his writing was living in slavery.Author, poet, essayist Marjorie Horton, whosefarm is within five miles of Horton’s dwelling

place in Chatham County, has determined thathis story should not be forgotten. She presents thefascinating life of this accomplished man,interspersed with a selection of his poemsperformed by localreaders.

The internationallyacclaimed mask/move-ment artist Doug Berkybrings his one-manshow to the PalustrisFestival at The O’NealSchool on Sundayafternoon, March 27. Amaster of mime andimprovisation, clowning and suspense, Berkysweeps his audience along with fanciful portray-als of personalities and emotions familiar to all.

The Moore OnStage production of “Over theRiver and Through the Woods” will be performedat the Sunrise Theater for the run of the PalustrisFestival. It isn’t a reprise of that old song. Instead,it is described as a play about the importance offamily, the hilarious things that can happen in afamily setting, as well as the sad things that occur.

It is witty and poignant and realistically addressesissues of family relationships with a satisfying old-fashioned point of view.

Story telling by “Gran’Daddy Junebug,” asportrayed by actor MitchCapel, will be featuredon Friday, March 25, atthe Southern PinesPrimary School. A Sand-hills native, Capel hastoured widely throughoutthe United States andhas been called a“national treasure.”
