Artist To Speak at Ventfort Hall

08:31AM / Wednesday, June 21, 2023Print Story | Email Story

LENOX, Mass. — Join painter, sculptor and author Lincoln Perry for a talk about not only some of the world's greatest art, but how an artist views, experiences and borrows from that art in his recently published book, "Seeing Like An Artist."

A tea will follow his presentation.

His talk will describe some of the formal and metaphoric lessons taught by art encountered in museums, with the understanding that such "advice" can help non-artists more fully enjoy what they see as well. His book is currently on sale in the gift shop.

Perry has been painting and sculpting for roughly half a century. He has shown around the country, as well as doing murals in Washington, D.C, St. Louis, Tallahassee, Florida and at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Tickets are $30 for members and with advance reservation; $35 day of; $22 for students 22 and under. Reservations are strongly encouraged as seats are limited. Walk-ins accommodated as space allows. For reservations visit https://gildedage.org/events/ or call at (413) 637-3206.

All tickets are nonrefundable and non-exchangeable. The historical mansion is located at 104 Walker Street in Lenox.

Wiffle Ball Tournament to Raise Money for Zerbato Scholarship Fund

Community submission07:02AM / Wednesday, October 07, 2026

PITTSFIELD, Mass. – The seventh annual Dave Zerbato Wiffle Ball Tournament Fundraiser will be held Saturday, Oct. 17, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Deming Park.

The event brings together players, families and community members for a day of Wiffle ball while raising money for the Dave Zerbato Scholarship Fund.

The annual tournament honors the memory and legacy of Coach Dave Zerbato, who was a longtime part of Pittsfield’s youth baseball community and coached the Berkshire Bank Little League.

Since its inception, the Dave Zerbato Scholarship Fund has awarded 30 scholarships totaling $26,750 to graduating seniors from Pittsfield High School and Taconic High School.

As a new generation of young players comes through Pittsfield’s baseball and softball programs, the tournament also provides an opportunity to share Zerbato’s story and continue the legacy he created within the local baseball community.

The tournament is open to players in four age divisions: 7–10, 11–13, 14–17 and 18+. In addition to Wiffle ball, the event will feature raffles, food and DZ24 swag, making it a fun community event for players, families and spectators alike. You don’t have to play to take part—community members are encouraged to stop by, enjoy the day and support the scholarship fund.

Proceeds from the tournament benefit the Dave Zerbato Scholarship Fund and help ensure that scholarships can continue to be awarded to deserving Pittsfield High School and Taconic High School seniors in Zerbato’s memory.
