Anything Goes at the SOHO

The So-ho in the BURG Gallery in Stroudsburg, PA held an Artist’s Reception on Sunday October 13th for their exhibition titled, “Anything Goes” featuring the work of Area Artists. One can’t help to be wonderfully overwhelmed by the impressive array of work presented in this exhibit. A variety of artistic disciplines and creative approaches were well represented as was the zenithal talents of the artists who participated in the show.

The well attended show prompted a great number of conversations among those who were present. Some where about the art presented, how the gallery is contributing to the artistic growth of the community, the exquisite taste of the cuisine provided by Chef G, or how cute the dogs some visitors brought to the gallery with them were. However, some brought more than their appreciative words and insights to be shared at the reception.

A group of hikers made the gallery a stopping point in their travels. One of them took out a guitar, placed his fingers upon its strings, and joined with another fellow hiker in song. This impromptu performance enhanced the experience of the reception greatly as those who listened began tapping their toes to the rhythm of the tunes. The mood created by the music, the art, the food, and the effervescent exuberance of the gallery’s host, Andrea Robbins Rimberg, proved to be a delight that lingered among all who came to enjoy the event.
