Studio B, 39 E. Philadelphia Ave. in Boyertown, announces the opening of an art exhibit entitled “LAND” on Friday, Jan. 30, 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 Sunday, April 19. 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.
Charles Farrell, a professional architect with an MFA in painting, is the juror for the exhibit. He once worked as a Resident Affiliate Artist at the Tryon Center for Visual Arts and was represented by the Hodges Taylor Gallery of Charlotte, NC. Farrell has exhibited at the Freyberger Gallery, Penn State Berks, Goggleworks Center for the Arts, Studio B Fine Art Gallery, the Art of the State in Harrisburg, and the North Carolina Museum of Art. He has won numerous awards, including First Prize for the Art of Jazz, Berks Arts Council Juried Exhibition, Grand Prize for Goggleworks 11th National Juried Exhibition, where he was awarded a solo exhibition. For 15 years, he has been writing music and performing with his wife, Amy Forsyth, at local venues.
Studio B Art Gallery opened its doors 18 years ago, hosting exhibits of fine art in all mediums, allowing hundreds of local artists over the years opportunities to showcase and sell their work, hundreds of visitors to the gallery to experience the artists’ skills and creative responses to the varied themes, and to meet with neighbors and friends to celebrate the artistic response.
