Ebu-Arts Guidelines
The important thing to think about in regard to Ebu-Arts is that it is “art from art,” a concept that can be realized in a vast multitude of ways. Whether composed of articles that are collected by the artist or created with his or her own hand, it should strive for a transcendence that can only be reached through a distinctly cumulative process—artworks joined together to form a new, greater artwork.

"Visual art is supposed to talk to you, like books and music, to expand your horizon, to make you think and feel good, to elevate your spirit."
-- Win Straube
What is Ebu-Arts? "Ebullient" is not a word most of us use in our everyday conversations, but Win Straube, educator, linguist and international businessman, knew it was exactly the right word to title a new art form he has created: Ebullient Art. Art that fits right into the dictionary's definition of the word: Exuberant. Enthusiastic.
On display at the Straube Center in Pennington are "Ebu-Arts #1" and "Ebu-Arts #2." Each is a collage of approximately 800 or more canceled international postage stamps on a 20- by 30-inch board.
The displayed stamps are from a wide range of countries covering different backgrounds, including stamps from the early part of the last century as well as from rare and extremely valuable issues, some of them from countries which no longer exist. There is inherent value already in the stamps used for this specific Ebu Arts piece.
Each stamp tells its own story, including much history, practically from all around the globe. Grouped together the images allow interesting comparisons of ideas and ideologies as well as human, technical, and political development.
Poster Quality reprints are available for sale for $19.99.
In addition a 99 piece limited edition of Ebu-Arts#1 will be produced on museum quality paper printed with archival inks will be available for $8,800 each. A 99 piece limited edition of Ebu-Arts#2 will be produced in the same fashion, available for $9,900 each. Please contact the Straube Center for details.

Straube Center features an outdoor exhibit with local sculpture artists.
For more than 30 years, Straube Center exhibition rooms have displayed local and international artists’ works in regularly rotating shows, and that practice will continue. However, something new was added on July 9, 2009: The Straube Center Office Park was turned into sculpture garden with “Art You Can Touch”, including large bronze, wood, metal, marble and other stone carvings by a variety of locally as well as globally well-known artists. Some of the three-dimensional art will be on permanent display while some of it will be on exhibition temporarily only. Most of it is for sale. Straube Center does not charge any commission.100% of the sales receipts go to the artists. Professional photographer and long time advocate of the arts Alisandra Wederich is the curator.
As part of the office complex’s work environment, Straube's art exhibits have proven extremely successful. Over the years, large numbers of celebrated artists have participated in Straube’s unique shows, and many more are ready to set up future shows. The sculpture gardens will add to the nurturing environment and give more exposure not only to the seekers of enjoyment in art, but to many visitors that may not normally visit a gallery. The high number of sold art to date shows how much Straube Center tenants and visitors enjoy this one-of-a-kind experience.
