On June 6,  during Berks Mont Business Association’s Philadelphia Avenue Street fair, Studio B is running a contest asking folks to vote for their favorite piece of “Twisted” art. The art–submitted especially for this event–will be on display inside the studio where voting and a silent auction will take place. While there, folks can enjoy the sculptures and fiber art of 16 local artists and check on the progress of “Ruby Roadtrip, ” Camping World’s Bear Fever bear being created by artist Bob Hakun.

On June 12, during Adriene Zapien’s Old Soul Stroll,  handfuls of “new souls” will welcome “strollers” to the studio to introduce themselves. For example, Diane O’Sullivan will have answers to any questions about the Bear Fever project. Her booklet–Bear Fever: It’s Catching, Chapter One, released August 2025, will be available for purchase.  While there, other members and workshop hosts will share information or examples about their upcoming workshops.
