Our Mission
About Art in the Berkshires
Art in the Berkshires connects people with the vibrant creative community of the Berkshires and surrounding areas. Through both our online platform and our new gallery space in Great Barrington, we celebrate the artists, makers, and cultural venues that shape the region’s creative life.
Our mission is simple: to amplify the transformative power of art in our communities. Artists bring joy, beauty, and new perspectives that help us better understand one another and the world around us. When creativity is visible and accessible, communities flourish.
A Platform for the Arts
ArtintheBerkshires.com was created to support artists working in and around the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts. Our website serves as a central hub where artists can share their work, exhibitions, and opportunities with a wider audience through a free or low-cost platform.
Visitors can explore an updated calendar of art events across the region, including:
- Art Shows
- Calls for Art
- Opening Receptions
- Studio Tours
- Artist Talks
- Special Art Events

Our goal is to make it easy for both residents and visitors to discover the incredible range of artistic activity happening throughout the Berkshires.
