Spring Pop-Up Gallery Exhibit at The Strand Center for the Arts

The Strand Center for the Arts is excited to host a Spring Pop-Up Gallery Exhibition, featuring paintings, photographs, sculptures, and more, all created by area artists. This special exhibition will be held at The Strand Center Main Gallery at 23 Brinkerhoff Street in Plattsburgh, in conjunction with the Spring Artisan Market on the front lawn, where vendors from around the area will be displaying their creations. The gallery show will be open for only one day: Saturday, March 20, 2021, from 10:00 am to 2:00 p.m. 

Artists for the show were eligible to enter on a first come-first served basis, with a maximum of twenty artists capable of hanging their work in the gallery for the duration of the day’s exhibit. Among those entering the show are Ron Nolland, Donna Austin, Renee Maynard Gifford, M. J McKenty, and Tracy Guynup. 

Concerning the exhibit, Gallery Director David Monette stated, “We did a series of pop-up shows for our artisan market at the end of September/beginning of October and we did another last month that was tied to our artisan market, and we had great turnouts. People want to get out and see artwork in a safe environment and our gallery is pretty big, allowing for plenty of social distancing. I’m expecting a great turnout for this springtime event.” 

The Spring Pop-Up Gallery Exhibition will be on view in The Strand Center Main Gallery at 23 Brinkerhoff Street in Plattsburgh only on Saturday, March 20, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, and is free and open to the public. Facemasks, social distancing, and a cap on the amount of people allowed in the gallery at any one time will be strictly upheld.
