In today’s economy, is a career in the arts truly viable? Three alumni from the Boyertown Area School District are out to prove that the answer is “Yes!” Jade Doskow, Beth Ferraro, and Robert Koch will showcase their work at Studio B, 39 E. Philadelphia Ave. in Boyertown, PA 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.
“These young artists who have found their way to careers in the arts will have important insights and stories to share with students who seek to follow in their footsteps,” said Jane Stahl, a former teacher from Boyertown. “I'm hoping that current students will be inspired by the work of these naturally talented alumni of Boyertown Area School District and continue their studies with enthusiasm and hope for their future success in the arts.”
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.”
