East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania: Members of Sterling Strauser Gallery Committee have announced the acquisition of “Jill on her Tricycle,” a rare, large-scale painting of the artist’s daughter by the late acclaimed, self-taught artist Sterling Boyd Strauser (1907-1995). Of the thousands of paintings created by Strauser in his lifetime, there were only a few that he signed with his full name, including this one.

Joy Taney is featured on the �nal episode of this season of Skin Wars: Fresh Paint, a reality show competition, which airs on August 3rd on the Game Show Network. Each episode is a self-contained competition where six professional artists with little to no experience body painting are trained up in a workshop and compete against each other for a $10,000 prize at the end of the episode. For GSN channels and listings, entering the zip codes of various Poconos areas in the top bar at this link will bring up the channels on which it is available. A viewing party at Yard of Ale, 622 Main Street, Stroudsburg, is planned for 9PM on August 3rd.

“Screech,” by Pam Mading, First Place winner in the Animal Kingdom Exhibition held at the ARTSPACE Gallery.
