The tour includes more than 30 artists and businesses stationed throughout the Kempton valley plus a satellite location hosted by the Hamburg Area Arts Alliance at Etchberger Memorial Park/Hamburg Community Park.
Stops include local businesses and studios hosting artists who will display a variety of crafts, such as pottery, wood and metal sculptures, and fine art paintings.
The free driving tour takes place within a 25-mile radius of scenic Albany Township, and a printable map of the stops can be found online or the Arts Tour Facebook page.
“The route is beautiful during this time of year, and the event is the perfect chance to embrace this community and see a wide array of art and local talent,” says Gigi Romano, who helps organize the annual event.
She recommends that participants choose the artists that interest them the most and visit those first. The route is numbered, but the tour is self-guided.
“The tour route is completely up to you; prioritize and only do as much as you can. Be sure to check out the Hamburg Arts Alliance satellite location at Hamburg Park!”
In addition to the displays, visitors will be able to purchase pieces and products at most stops. Multiple host locations will be open for business or provide refreshments and locally sourced treats.
This unique event exposes participants to the vibrant local culture and talent of Berks County, and allows for a day of exploration and art appreciation.
