Artists and galleries in Barto, Boyertown, and Oley will open their spaces to the public for the fifth annual Fall Into Winter Tour the weekend before Thanksgiving, Nov. 21-22, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Featured along with fine art and fine craft are two venues offering the artistry of Mother Nature: food and beverage products from the area’s orchards, gardens, and farms.
Participating artists and galleries include the founder of the studio tour Linda Rohrbach Austerberry and her friends Debbie Burkert, Gail Fronheiser and Angela Colasanti in Barto; in Boyertown, Studio B Fine Art Gallery featuring an exhibit of the artwork of Marilyn Fox entitled “New Paintings”; Frecon Farms and Other Farm Brewing Company; Dancing Tree Creations Artisans Gallery and Studio showcasing over 200 American fine crafters; Taylor Backes Glass Studio and Gallery; and in Oley, Clay On Main.
The seven stops include gift-able items, fine art, home decor, and local culinary art and beverages. All work is for sale. There will also be special events at several locations; tour-goers are encouraged to visit http://studiobbb.org/fall-into-winter for the latest details, a complete list of participating artists and events, driving directions, and tour map.
During the tour, visitors will receive a ticket at each venue they visit that can be entered into a special drawing for hand-crafted items donated by the participating artists or venues.
