Studio B, 39 E. Philadelphia Ave. in Boyertown, PA, announces the opening of an art exhibit entitled “INSIDE” on January 31, 2025, from 5-7 p.m. featuring a show of works in all media and any genre of art.
The broad and open theme challenges artists to submit works interpreting the “inside” of anything: the mind, a room, a home, a family, a town, state, country the earth…the universe, for example. The show continues through April 27, 2025. Please visit studiobbb.org for more information.
Juror for the show is Kathi Ember, a professional artist/illustrator for over 40 years. For the first ten years of her career, she focused on editorial illustration, creating conceptual and informational art for books and magazines. Then she connected with a NYC agent and spent twenty-five years as an illustrator for children ’s books. In 2017 she broke off with her agent to explore other avenues. She has painted several murals, most notably a large mural based on Alice in Wonderland for The Kemerer Museum of Decorative Arts in Bethlehem. Currently, she is focused on exploring her own personal work and expanding her growth as an artist.
Studio B is grateful to Hardy Farrow of the Longacre Company, psychic medium Cristina Leeson, and Scott Rothenberger’s PLACE for sponsoring prize awards to artists. Hardy, owner and force behind Longacre Company--a leading provider of home services based in Berks County, Pennsylvania since 1920--has a dynamic background in entrepreneurship and a passion for community development.
Cristina’s stated purpose is to spread awareness of energy and the mind, body, spirit connection, stating, “If we look within and understand how our spirit speaks to us, and we listen to that amazing voice, we can create a better life for ourselves, and the create a better world around us.”
Scott’s annual Fall in to Winter tour at PLACE’s design studio and warehouse includes a raffle with proceeds and matching funds from PLACE donated to Studio B as part of its commitment to giving back to the community through charitable organizations including those addressing childhood cancers and animal rescue.
The reception and exhibit are free and open to the public. Normal gallery hours are Saturday and Sunday 12-2 pm or by appointment by contacting Jane 610-563-7879. Learn more about Studio B by visiting the website https://www.studiobbb.org/
