University to host art events and exhibits

  • 2020-11-12
Several special events and exhibitions are scheduled to take place through May of next year, hosted by the art and design department at East Stroudsburg University.

Such events and exhibitions are often made known throughout the community with poster printing.

Curators of The Sally Project, Sasha Chavchavadze and JoAnne McFarland, will be holding a virtual presentation later this month. The Sally Project is a community-centered and interdisciplinary initiative that focuses on the use of art to highlight those women who have been marginalized. The two women are asking those who want to attend the presentation to provide them biographies, memories, and ideas from women who have affected their lives. This presentation will be held at 6:00 pm on Wednesday, November 18.

Along with the presentation will be an online exhibit that will feature local and national historians, writers, performers, and artists whose lives may have been forgotten. The show will begin this fall and run through May 2021.

Artists Sanford Biggers and Jennifer Zackin will also be holding “a small world” exhibit that will explore the similarities of social class among the races in this country. Other shows being planned at the Madelon Powers Gallery are an inclusion Poster Project, a campus-wide faculty and staff art exhibit, and the first artist in residence with Margaret Cogswell, all of which will continue through the spring.
