“The Earth Speaks IV: A Juried Exhibition on the Environmental Crisis,” will be displayed April 6-28 in the ARTSPACE Gallery, 18 N. Seventh St., Stroudsburg. The Earth Speaks is an artist’s means of capturing their concern regarding the climate crisis and how it affects our planet, as well as an opportunity to offer possible solutions.

Sixty works were selected to be included in the show. Awards will be granted in various categories to those encapsulating the environmental crisis theme.

Juror for the show was Raymond Barnes, professor of Painting and Drawing at Muhlenberg College in Allentown. He is an exhibiting artist in the Lehigh Valley, New York and throughout the U.S.; a curator and co-curator of art exhibitions in the Lehigh Valley; and a juror of fine art exhibitions.
