"Trudy's Bear" by Joanne Dietz
Studio B Art Gallery welcomes writers and the community to a poetry and prose reading and Writers’Reception. The reception is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.

Writers were challenged to respond to the meanings of the words “bear” and “bare” as part of the gallery’s “The Three Bears” summer project. The word “bear” holds many meanings; the homonym “bare” holds many meanings as well. Writers were also encouraged to respond to the Bear Fever sculptures—perhaps the sponsor’s mission or details that the artist displayed on a sculpture. Another suggestion was to respond to an aspect or theme from the fairy tale “Goldilocks & the Three Bears” like “everything in moderation,” “respecting others’ space,” or how actions may hurt others.

Poetry and prose responses will be published in The Boyertown Area Expression digital news site beginning July 1, 2025. (boyertownareaexpression.town.news)
