Now in its 22nd year and featuring 175 jury-selected artists from across the country, the Berkshires Arts Festival is recognized nationally as one of the country's most respected summer art events. The Berkshires Visitors Bureau rates the Berkshires Arts Festival as one of the top ten "Hot Spots" in Western Massachusetts. It is highly recommended as one of THE places to go for family get-togethers and an extraordinary shopping experience. "With its relaxed atmosphere, great food, exceptional art & fine crafts, puppet shows, and live music, it's a great weekend for the entire family."
Once you visit www.Berkshires.org, the Berkshires Visitors Bureau official site, you immediately understand why the Berkshires Arts festival thrives. July 4th weekend kicks off the summer cultural season, and The Berkshires Arts Festival has become a summer institution, the place for artists to meet thousands of potential clients who not only appreciate and support the arts community but they are "buyers."
FYI
Smithsonian Magazine ranked Great Barrington as No. 1 among small towns in the United States in its 2012 May issue, citing its "big-city" smarts and its New England sensibilities.
