The Pocono Arts Council\u2019s Artspace Gallery will host an exhibition of paintings on loan from the Grey and Linda Carter Collection of the Sterling Strauser Gallery at East Stroudsburg University.<\/p>\n
The exhibition opens Friday, November 1, at 5 p.m. at the Artspace Gallery, located in the PoconoArts Cultural Center, 18 North 7th<\/sup> Street in Stroudsburg and will continue through November 16.<\/p>\n ESU is loaning out about 30 superb Strausers as well as approximately 10 pieces from The Strauser Circle, including works by Dorothy Strauser, Jack Savitsky, Charlie Dieter, Ironsides Pry and Joseph Polinsky.<\/p>\n \u201cThe artwork brings a new level of sophistication to Artspace, the area\u2019s premier, public fine art gallery,\u201d said Laura Goss, executive director of the Pocono Arts Council. \u201cWe are excited to be working in cooperation with ESU to make this show happen.\u201d<\/p>\n The Sterling Strauser Gallery at ESU, which opened in May of 2012 and is on the third floor of the university\u2019s Innovation Center, features the works of Strauser, who lived and painted in East Stroudsburg from 1928 to 1995. The Gallery\u2019s initial collection was made possible thanks to a generous donation of 114 of Strauser\u2019s paintings by the Carters, philanthropists and ardent art dealers. In 1964, after meeting Sterling Strauser, Grey Carter began buying and selling works of art to meet his desire to acquire an art collection. His gift to ESU was intended to honor his longtime friend.<\/p>\n \u201cThe beauty of this is that it brings the works that are in our gallery, out to the public,\u201d said Rich Staneski, ESU\u2019s retired vice president of administration and finance who is on the steering committee for the Strauser Gallery.<\/p>\n The Artspace Gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturdays. Admission is free.
