A Day of Art in the Lovely Berkshires

Picture
Described by The New Republic as “one of the most fearless and adventurous cultural initiatives of the past decade,” MASS MoCA (the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art) thrives on making and presenting work that is fresh, surprising, and challenging. Located in North Adams, in the midst of the beautiful Berkshire Hills of Western Massachusetts, join pioneering founder Joseph Thompson for a private tour of the galleries with up to 5 guests.

Afterward, have lunch with Joe at the neighboring Gramercy Bistro, a contemporary American restaurant specializing in Berkshires-grown, organic ingredients. Lunch with Joe is as much an opportunity to learn about MASS MoCA as it is a chance to converse with someone who knows how to successfully build an institution from the ground up, and who is certain to be a major figure in this country’s art scene for many years to come. Your group will then travel to nearby Williamstown (5 miles away) for a tour of the Francine & Sterling Clark Art Institute whose collection focuses almost exclusively on European and American painting, sculpture, works on paper, and decorative art from the Renaissance to the early 20th century.
