There will also be live music by various artists to entertain visitors throughout the afternoon.
“The Pennridge Gallery of the Arts has been a time-honored tradition in Sellersville,” said Kylie Adams-Weiss, Chairperson to the Pennridge Gallery of the Arts. “Each year has continued to grow and adapt with new vendors and musicians, and each year, our committee continues to be impressed by the caliber of artistry we see from our artists and crafters. We look forward to continuing the celebration of the arts in our community at this year’s festival.” Craft and Artist Vendors are invited to apply through September 7. Information on registration can be found on the Pennridge Gallery of the Arts website.
Main Street, Sellersville,will be closed for the festival from Green Street to Elm Street, and access to local businesses will be encouraged. The Picker’s Junction, Next Chapter Bookstore, Johnny Roc’s Pizza, the Washington House and Koolick’s, among others, will be open to the public for those who wish to get out of the sun and support local. BuxMont Awards will be opening their door to house the 2023 Featured Artist, B.A. Stoll.
B.A. Stoll is an award winning abstract painter who lives and works in Perkasie, PA. Her colorful paintings pay homage to her upbringing in New York City in the 1960s when her mother was an art editor at LIFE magazine. Having been surrounded by artists during the rise of Pop Art, Op Art, Minimalism, Conceptual Art, Performance and Feminist Art, her personal style radiates happiness and humor. As Stoll explains, “I am painting stories and have decided to greet the viewer with joy.” Stoll has a B.A. in Visual arts from SUNY College at Old Westbury, NY; and has studied at the Art League of Long Island and Hofstra University. She has taught art classes locally, is an author and illustrator, and is Co-Owner of Chimayo Gallery & Gift Shop in Perkasie, PA. You can check out her work at: https://www.galleryofthearts.org/featured-artist
Her work will be on display at Bux-Mont Awards and Engraving from noon until 5 PM. “Be sure to stop by and take a look in person,” said Lisa Duffner of the Gallery of the Arts Committee. “You are sure to enjoy her vivid scenes, sometimes playful, at times contemplative, brought to life in bright colors and adventurous compositions.”
Live music will feature local musicians, and performances from local groups and businesses will offer family-friendly entertainment.
The Pennridge Gallery of the Arts has so much to offer to art lovers, craft shoppers, music lovers, foodies, and families looking for a fun way to spent a beautiful September Sunday afternoon. Come out and experience a Bucks County tradition, 55 years in the making.
