Studio B Boyertown has appointed Bob Hakun as its new gallery director. Hakun, an assemblage artist who creates works from found objects, previously worked as a computer graphic designer and prepress manager after his career designing Halloween masks and costumes moved overseas. He is a 1976 graduate of Kutztown University with a BFA in painting. The gallery is also presenting the exhibition “Form & Fiber: 3-Dimensional Expression in Art,” featuring 3-D and fiber works by Hakun and fifteen other artists, running through June 21.
The appointment of a practicing artist as gallery director signals a hands-on, community-oriented approach for Studio B Boyertown, a local art space. The “Form & Fiber” exhibition highlights the gallery’s commitment to showcasing diverse media and supporting regional artists, reinforcing its role as a cultural hub in the Boyertown area.
