More Snow
The Berkshires received several inches of snow this morning, but not enough to close schools, unlike yesterday's sleety mess. Temperatures will drop into the 20s this afternoon. A few more snow showers are expected through the weekend. |

NBCA Receives Grant for Classes at The Clark - April 23, 2008
North Adams - Northern Berkshire Creative Arts has been awarded $2000 by the Fund for Williamstown for its classes and workshops held at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute. The Fund for Williamstown, an Area Fund of Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation, encourages projects that create a more vibrant Williamstown that is responsive to the diverse needs of all of its residents.
Since spring 2007, NBCA has offered creative arts programming for children and adults designed around the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute’s special and permanent exhibitions. Through its partnership with the Clark, NBCA has been able to help make the museum’s internationally recognized collection and exhibits accessible to the wider community and offer classes in a location convenient to Williamstown residents.
NBCA has scheduled a variety of classes at the Clark for spring and summer, including Life Drawing, May 3 through June 14, 10am to 12noon, with instructor Sean Riley; Painting with Light: En Plein Air Painting the Berkshires in Summer, July 19 through August 9, 1pm to 4pm, with instructor David Lane; and Taking it Outdoors: Painting and Drawing for the Whole Family, Saturdays in July and August. Visit www.nbcreativearts.org or call the office at 413-663-8338 for more information, registration forms, and details on scholarships. NBCA makes every effort to offer partial and full financial aid for all classes and workshops.
Northern Berkshire Creative Arts, a non-profit community arts school founded in 2003, provides a broad range of studio classes and creative arts programming, both traditional and contemporary, to all members of the Northern Berkshires and surrounding communities. NBCA is located in the Heritage State Park, Route 8 south, downtown North Adams. |
