Brayton Hill After School Program Inspired by Sol LeWitt

Print Story | Email Story
The Brayton Hill After School Program, Kid Kit, has been working on a Sol LeWitt inspired 'wall drawing', or mural project for their Community Room. Young children in the after school program have been working this week with Alison Basdekis, a consultant from MASS MoCA’s Education Department, to develop an original piece of art on the wall. The kids in the after school program traveled to MASS MoCA last week to see the exciting work of Sol LeWitt. 

They learned about his wall drawing instructions and the basic primary colors used in his works. This week, the kids have been putting this instruction to action, as they complete their own Sol Lewitt inspired wall drawing with Alison’s help. The kids are in charge of the developing, prepping, and painting of the project.

Please stop by the Brayton Hill Community Room on Thursday, June 11 at 5:30 p.m. to witness the completion of this exciting project!

New North Adams Restaurant Approved for Liquor License

By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — A new restaurant on Main Street, a provisions shop and a convenience store all got the nod from the License Commission on Tuesday.
 
Siblings Colleen and Sean Taylor are expanding their cuisine empire yet again with the establishment of Main & Mill in the old TD Bank. They were before the commission to apply for an all-alcohol license. 
 
The building is owned by Ginko on Main Street LLC, which has granted 20 years exclusive possession of the property to Latent Builds as the developer. Jack and Suzy Wadsworth, behind Ginko, are development partners with Salvatore Perry and Karla Rothstein of Latent.
 
The bank closed in early 2021 and purchased by Ginko late that year. Plans for the property unveiled three years ago envisioned a restaurant, retail, a park and rooftop bar. 
 
The building's hosted some pop-up eateries and is currently under construction for the new restaurant. 
 
Colleen Taylor said the restaurant will be open seven days a week serving lunch and dinner, and be open early for coffee. 
 
"It's not going to be a very big restaurant. It's about the same size as Trail House, except for Trail House has a bigger patio, so about the same seating," she said.
