Studio B Fine Art Gallery, 39A East Philadelphia Avenue in Boyertown, PA, announces a grant award from the Boyertown Area Charitable Program of Berks County Community Foundation to support the studio’s summer 2021 exhibit combining visual art and its 8th book of poetry and prose entitled “My Favorite Things: Beauties Are Joys Forever.”

“Somewhat ironically and also serendipitously, while the theme was ‘in the works’ prior to the COVID crisis, our continuing struggles through 2020 in dealing with the crisis make the need to focus on our joys more relevant than ever,” noted Jane Stahl, Director of Community Relations for Studio B.

“We are grateful to the Berks County Community Foundation for their on-going efforts in support of art and culture! They stepped in early in the crisis, recognizing our need to supplant lost opportunities for funding our programs, and provided needed dollars to keep us alive for critical months,” Stahl continued.

“We were encouraged to utilize the available technology to create ways to provide our community with virtual exhibits, classes and workshops, and Facebook LIVE events featuring our visual, literary, and musical arts and artists,” she added.

“Honestly, the support of the Community Foundation energized us and motivated our willingness and our efforts to keep the studio alive, and this recent award gives us hope…and, of course, the needed financing…to look forward to our future serving the community. We look forward to continuing our work in providing art and cultural-related activities. We are so very grateful.” she concluded.

Studio B:
Studio B, located in the heart of historic Boyertown, is the home of the Arts and Activities Alliance, a committee of Building a Better Boyertown, a nonprofit Main Street program dedicated to revitalizing small towns.

Studio B celebrates lifelong learning, creativity and personal involvement in the visual and communication arts and seeks to be a dynamic part of Boyertown community, a “go to” destination for learning, fun and friendship. The studio seeks to showcase the work of fine artists in themed exhibits—some juried, some open to all—and welcomes art in diverse media. In addition to art exhibits, workshops, and classes, Studio B also hosts activities and informal gatherings on assorted topics for small groups or meetings, gallery talks, and “Getting to Know You” opportunities.

Visitors are always welcome to view the changing exhibits; take lessons in the visual, literary, and communication arts offered by highly-trained local artists and teachers; and schedule small events or parties in its elegant facility. The studio proudly collaborates with the many unique businesses in the Boyertown community.
