Studio B, 39A East Philadelphia Avenue in Boyertown, is pleased to announce the opening of CULTIVATE, the studio’s eighth annual show featuring art inspired by agriculture.
The exhibit opens Jan. 15, with a reception from 5 to 8 p.m.
Susan Biebuyck, Studio B’s gallery director, looks for an angle each year to challenge artists to a fresh take on the traditional subjects of agriculture and farming while saluting our agricultural roots, paying tribute to our area’s natural beauty in creative ways. For CULTIVATE, Biebuyck urges artists to be inspired by the several definitions of the word including the development, refinement or elevation of relationships, character, mind or manners.
Prizes will be awarded on Friday night, including the coveted “Best In Show,” which nets the winner a cash prize as well as a featured spot during the agriculturally themed exhibit in 2017. The show continues through Sunday, Feb. 14. The exhibition and opening reception are free and open to the public. Please visit studiobbb.org for more information.
In the interest of cultivating relationships, Biebuyck has invited Julie Tonnessen of Art Fusion to jury the exhibit. Tonnessen is the assistant director of ArtFusion 19464, a non-profit community art center in Pottstown. Tonnessen will offer Studio B’s first-place winner with a featured exhibition of his or her works at Art Fusion.
