The Arts and Entertainment
this week in Boyertown
|
Sandy Wood's exhibit "Aquarell"-runs at Studio B, 39A East Philadelphia Avenue, Boyertown, through March 16, 2010.
Boyertown alumni show off natural talents at Studio B
Jade Doskow, Beth Ferraro, and Robert Koch will showcase their work at Studio B, in "Natural Talents II: Alumni Show and Tell" March 19-April 12, 2010.
Doskow will show photographs documenting the rapidly changing waterfront neighborhood of Red Hook, Brooklyn, while Ferraro's photography captures ordinary corners of life in historic Washington, D.C. Koch's steel sculptures attempt to create soft, fluid forms from a material known for hardness, rigidity, and lifelessness.
The artists will host two gallery talks for students and adults to provide insight into their work and careers. These talks will take place on Friday, March 19 at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. inside Studio B. The public is also invited to an opening reception from 5-8:00 p.m.
Studio B and the artists would like to thank Susquehanna Bank for their generous monetary support of this exhibit.
"This program is a natural fit for Susquehanna Bank, because it focuses on two key areas of our community support: education and access to the arts," said Joe Wynands, Branch Manager of Susquehanna Bank's Boyertown Branch. "We are pleased to be able to support this opportunity for students and others in the community to learn from these artists."
Studio B welcomes visitors to the exhibit during its regular hours--Thursday, Friday, Saturday 11:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m., Fridays 6:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m.--and during scheduled art classes.
Visit www.studiobbb.org for additional details about the studio.

Become a Tree Tender!
Become part of the "growing" TreeVitalize initiative, an effort led
by Pennsylvania's Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) to increase tree cover and the many benefits that trees offer us.
Trees not only improve air quality, but studies show greening can serve as an economic stimulus tool and increase nearby property values by up to 30%. Properly placed trees help to moderate indoor/outdoor temperatures, and can reduce energy costs, noise pollution and crime rates, among many other environmental, social and health benefits.
Tree Tenders is a training program that empowers concerned residents to make dramatic strides towards restoring and caring for their local tree canopy. Join us for eight hours of hands-on training that covers tree biology, identification, planting, proper care, and working with your community. The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) in collaboration with Penn State Cooperative Extension developed this course for citizens
and experts alike. Since 1993, over 3000 community volunteers from 200 Pennsylvania neighborhoods have become trained Tree Tenders.
Registration is required. The course offers ISA, PA LA, PLNA and Act 48 ceus.
Registration is required. For more information or the registration brochure,
