Studio B Fine Art Gallery, 39A East Philadelphia Avenue in Boyertown, PA, announces the virtual opening on Thursday, October 22, 2020, from 6:00-7:00 p.m. on Facebook LIVE of a fine art exhibit celebrating women in the arts and 100 years of the women’s right to vote entitled “Still Roaring 2020.”

Studio B Fine Art Gallery’s exhibit “Still Roaring 2020,” a Speakeasy opening, will showcase fine art in all media from local women artists who embody the spirit of feminism found in the Flappers of 1920.

Participating artists are Lizzie Beetles, Susan Biebuyck, Anne Chase, Suzanne Fellows, Angela Izzo, Kachina Leigh, Michelle Neifert, Kate Perkins, Karen Palcho, Abby Ryder, Erika Stearly, Kristen Woodward, and Daniella Yacono.

“We welcome you to pour some hooch, put on your flapper dress or pinstripes, and join our Speakeasy opening on Facebook LIVE,” Susan Biebuyck, Studio B’s gallery director encouraged.

The exhibit will run from October 22, 2020, through December 27, 2020, and is free and open to the public.

Flappers of the 1920’s, considered the first generation of independent American women, embraced their equality and full humanity with spunk and unbounded energy. They pushed against tradition artistically to exert their freedom of expression. They raised their voices to mark their place in the political arena. They joined the workforce in increasing numbers and exerted their power as consumers.

And while the passage of the 19th Amendment gave women the vote in 1920, women today continue to work to benefit fully from the changes set in motion 100 years ago.

Studio B Fine Art Gallery is open for in-person viewing of the exhibit every Sunday, 12:00-2:00 p.m. and by appointment by contacting Susan Biebuyck, 484-332-2757 or Jane Stahl, 610-563-7879.
