All roads lead to local artists on the Hawk Mountain Sanctuary Arts Tour and Sale on June 1 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Now in its 14th year, the tour includes more than 40 artists and businesses with the satellite location hosted by the Hamburg Arts Alliance.

Stops include several local businesses hosting artists who will display a variety of crafts, such as pottery, wood and metal sculptures, jewelry, 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, and the event is the perfect chance to embrace this community and see a wide variety 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 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!” said Romano.

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 food and drinks for sale or tasting.

This unique event exposes visitors to the amazing local culture and talent of Berks County, and allows for a day of exploration and art appreciation.

At Hawk Mountain, there will be the Perk Up Truck, a mobile smoothie bar and café that will be stationed in the Visitor Center parking lot for all participants to enjoy.
