| So much has already happened in 2025 on the art scene under the direction of Jody Singer, VP of Visual Arts, and Stephen DeAngelis, Producing Artistic Director. We launched the new year with several arts shows, and an ongoing permanent ro-tating photography exhibit under the di-rection of Jonathan Broady. A sold-out Cabaret show at the Deer Head was fol-lowed by two performances of the Gospel of John by Broadway legend Ken Jennings. This Newsletter by Editor, Jane MacHale, will keep us informed on current offering and things to come.
Thankfully, Rose London is hard at work on the grant writing scene, and I am pleased to announce that we just received |
|
| $10,000 from the Hotel Tax allocation, plus earlier, $5,000 for our Cabaret series from the Visitor’s Bureau. The ESSA Foundation Board Awarded us a $100,000 matching grant for the outfitting of the Art Gallery and Performance Center within Central Building. The acquisition of Kathi Lockwood’s Central Building continues to take center stage in our fundraising efforts and already $650,000 has been approved in funding. In further developments, Kathi Lockwood has donated office space for our use on Main Street in Stroudsburg.
It is extremely important to note that The Shawnee Inn and the Stroudsmoor Country Inn have been instrumental in our ability |
|
| to operate. From the beginning, they welcomed us with wide open arms, commuting untold resources to “make it happen”. We have a permanent rotating art gallery at the Shawnee Inn, and we are working very closely with Stroudsmoor to expand our programing initiates to better serve our vibrant community.
Next up is a specular show on the Sunday after Easter, April 27th, at 4 pm at Terra-view, Stroudsmoor. Stephen DeAngelis has PULLED OUT ALL THE STOPS to create something extra special for our spring celebration. It is not to be missed! |
