October Evening on Main

The Jacob Stroud Corporation* (www.stroudsburg.net) in Stroudsburg, PA held their monthly Evening on Main event on Saturday October 6th. A great number of visual and performing artists lent their talents to help make the evening a wonderful event for all who come to experience it. These included an exhibition entitled, “Structured Randomness” at The ArtSpace Gallery* (www.spezmedia.com/artspace) which featured a wide range of works by Greg Waltzer* (www.gregwaltzer.com) along with a gallery performances by New Atlantis* (www.newatlantismusic.com). Other Opening Receptions included work by new artist Chance Tedesco whose work was shown at The D. R.‘s Custom Design Framing and Art Gallery featuring a variety of charcoal, acrylic, and graphite pieces. The works of these artists brought a balance of serenity and excitement to their viewers as they explored the meaningful intricacies of Greg Waltzer’s* work and looked afresh through the new eyes of Chance Tedesco.

However, it is worthwhile noting a revelation I and other attendees of the Evening on Main St. Stroudsburg had during the event. Art exhibition are not confined to designated galleries but can be found in any venue and in any circumstances; even those dwelling in the human heart. This revelation was well demonstrated in The Yellow Moon Boutique (www.yellowmoonboutique.com) whose show entitled, “An Autumn Showing” featured the Watercolor Paintings of Thomas Augusta. These works not only enhanced the merchandise populating the boutique, but they along with the atmosphere they helped create elevated the appreciation of the arts and where they can be found.

Jane and Don Slepian* (www.donslepian.com) along with Will Daskal*(www.willdaskal.com) and his wife were among the many friends I met during the evening. However, I have made many new friends which was a wonderful treat making the event even more meaningful to me. I do welcome any of you who would like to share their recollections the event with me. The exhibitions will continue until the end of October. Please contact The Jacob Stroud Corporation at 570-424-9131 for more information.
