By the Way Berkshires shares the global concerns around COVID-19. In Western Massachusetts, local organizations are paying careful attention to health and safety, and many events are suspended until it is safe to meet again. But we are in the country here — and we are finding careful ways to hold outdoor events and virtual events — film, music, art, theater and more. Creative life in the Berkshires is very much alive.
