PITTSFIELD – The Berkshire Museum in downtown Pittsfield will present the exhibition Full Moon at Night: Monoprints by Betsy Dovydenas from July 1 through September 1. Eight monoprints by the Lenox-based artist feature nighttime scenes of animals, deer, and other woodland creatures.

“These colorful works by Betsy Dovydenas reflect the natural science collections of the Berkshire Museum as well as showcase a great Berkshire-based artist,” said Stuart A. Chase, executive director of the Berkshire Museum.

Dovydenas’ monoprints—a printmaking technique that results in only one copy—are oil on rag paper, and measure 15 x 19 inches. Featured works will be Deer at Night 1 and 2, Midnight Walk, Eclipse of the Moon, Owls Hunting at Night, I Need a Runway, and On the Road.

The Berkshire Museum is located at 39 South Street on Route 7 in Downtown Pittsfield. The galleries and aquarium are open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays noon to 5 p.m. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for children ages 3-18. Members and children 2 and under are admitted free.
