Studio B Art Gallery is delighted to announce a series of captivating events this summer, beginning with the fan-favorite First Friday Gallery Walk on July 5, from 5:00-7:00 p.m. This month’s gallery walk will feature an “Art Salon” style open house, showcasing new paintings from previous Plein Air Easton winners and 2024 participants. Artists Bernard Dellario and Betty Huang will be in the studio, fresh from their trip to Provence, France, where they painted the beautiful lavender fields and villages. This is an excellent opportunity for art enthusiasts to immerse themselves in the latest works from talented artists and engage with award-winning creators.

“We are incredibly excited to bring such a diverse range of artistic experiences to our community this summer,” said Betty Huang, owner of Studio B Art Gallery. “The First Friday Gallery Walk is a wonderful tradition, and this month’s Art Salon promises to be an exceptional event with extraordinary art and inspiring dialogues.”

Furthermore, we are pleased to invite you to a live painting demonstration by the esteemed artist Bernard Dellario. On Tuesday, July 16, 2024, at 11:00 a.m., Bernie will be creating an “alla prima” floral still life painting from life. This session offers a rare glimpse into his creative process and the opportunity to hear his thoughts as the painting progresses. Attendees are encouraged to ask questions and gain valuable insights into Bernie’s artistic approach.
