We never know how our artists will respond to our themes. But it is likely that many will take an opportunity to celebrate the beautiful landscapes surrounding Berks and Montgomery counties during the upcoming exhibit titled simply "LAN.D."
It was Studio B's exhibit in January 2009--titled "The Farm"--the very first exhibit after our premiere opening-- that inspired artists and art lovers. And so, each year we provide an opportunity to our artists to showcase their love of the land and to our patrons to demonstrate their appreciation for the art and artists who love the land.
We hope to see you at the opening--January 30, 2026--5-7 p.m.
Studio B, 39 E. Philadelphia Ave. in Boyertown, PA, announces the opening of an art exhibit entitled “LAND” on January 30, 2026, from 5-7 p.m. featuring a show of works in all mediums from area artists. The exhibit is free and open to the public and will run through, April 19, 2026.
Artists are challenged to showcase art on any aspect of the word “LAND.” This broad visual discussion on our world is left open to the artists’ interpretations and may include environmental, political, or cultural responses.
