North Adams Public School students and their families are invited to Family Night at Mass MoCA on Thursday. This free event will give after-hours access to select exhibitions in the museum, art-making, food, fun, and more, and the chance to join in a collaborative art project responding to the question, “What is a community?”
The event is free and open to NAPS students, families, teachers and administrators, the museum says. RSVPs encouraged but not required.
By the Way Berkshires is a digital magazine exploring creative life and community — art and performance, food and the outdoors — and I’m writing it for you, with local voices, because I’ve gotten to know this rich part of the world as a writer and journalist, and I want to share it with you.
If you’d like to see the website grow, you can join me for a few dollars a month, enough for a cup of coffee and a cider doughnut. Members get access to extra stories and multimedia, itineraries a bookmark tool. Let me know what you're looking for, and we’ll explore together.
