| ArtSmash of the Poconos |
| ArtSmash Mixes It All Up Pocono Jazz and Poetry and we, The Forwardian Arts Society, presented our very first ArtSmash of the Poconos on Saturday September 5th at The Shoppes on Main Complex on the corner of 8th and Main Streets in Stroudsburg, PA. The weather was beautiful and a multitude of people came by to enjoy the festivities. T Shirts related to the event were handed out as the supply of 100 soon dwindled down to zero. Our Community Partners included Bridget Williams of The Tapestry Corner who provided us with the venue, Nicole DeFour of Quench Juice and Smoothie Bar who provided food and beverage for all the participants, Nelson Ortiz who designed the special ArtSmash logo, Patti Keegan of Keegan Tees who printed the ArtSmash Tshirts, Laura Goss of The Pocono Arts Council, Trudie Lear of PoconoWomen, Richard Berkowitz of The Sherman Theater and Jacob Stroud Corporation, Lonn Murov and Joe Sinagra of Grandpa Pete’s Bagels who provided food and beverage for the Open Jam Attendees. You’ll find the complete article along with pictures taken by The Forwardian Arts Society on Myspace, facebook, and Bloggers. |
