Studio B, 39 E. Philadelphia Ave. in Boyertown, PA, announced the invitational exhibition entitled “Form & Fiber: 3-Dimensional Expression in Art” will open on Friday, April 24, from 5-7 p.m., featuring a show of 3-D and fiber art. The exhibit is free and open to the public and will run through Sunday, June 21.
Participating artists are Michael Biddison, Tom Cook, Caren Cornman, Allan Cornman, Rhonda Counts, Ellen Finks, Sunny Finley, Bob Hakun, Kachina Leigh, Sharon McGinley, Anne Mitchell Reid, Kathryn Morgan, Martha Ressler, Max Rhoads, Bob Wood, and Linda B. Wood.
3-D art and fiber art are both rich, hands-on creative worlds. 3-D art refers to artwork that exists in physical space. It is artwork — sculptures in clay, stone, and metal, including assemblage, ceramics, and pottery — that you can walk around and view from multiple angles. Blending craft and fine art, fiber art focuses on materials like fabric, yarn, thread, and textiles, created by weaving, knitting, crocheting, embroidering, quilting, and macrame. Fiber art becomes 3-D art when it moves beyond flat surfaces.
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. 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 the 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.
