East Stroudsburg University’s Madelon Powers Gallery will host a special Martin Luther King, Jr. gallery exhibition featuring the artwork submitted for the Julianna V. Bolt Art Contest.

The exhibition will be open from 10 a.m. to noon on Monday.

The contest, held each year in conjunction with ESU’s Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration Breakfast, gives local high school students an opportunity to share artwork that reflects their interpretation of the theme of the program. This year’s theme is “I Have a Dream” – 60 Years Later.
