NORTH ADAMS, Mass.-The North Adams Artists Co-op Gallery (NAACO) welcomes the public to the third in series of four artists' talks and demonstrations to be held at the gallery on 33 Main Street, North Adams at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, September 9.

The talk is free to the public and refreshments will be served.

Ann is a jeweler and exhibiting member of the North Adams Artists’ Co-Op Gallery where her works in sterling silver, PMC (precious metal clay) polymer clay, and other media, are on display. She will present information about PMC as a medium and demonstrate the process of turning  Precious Metal Clay into silver.

Ms. Webster-Lang says: “I am attracted to and inspired by natural forms. Currently, I am drawn to the simplification of these forms--the bare bones of their structure. I find that when you pare something down to the root of its form, you see the interconnectedness of everything. Relatedly, I am excited and motivated by the symbolism commonly found in all that surrounds us. Familiar shapes and simplistic forms--the circle, square, triangle and spiral--have multi-layered meanings that inspire my current creations.”


Ann is a trained graphic artist with many years of graphic design experience. She teaches art at the Vermont Art Exchange and at the Mount Anthony Middle School. She is member of the National Polymer Clay Guild, the National Precious Metal Clay Guild and is a Certified Precious Metal Clay Instructor.

The North Adams Artist Co-op Gallery is proud to be one of the 27 galleries participating in this year’s DownStreet Art. DownStreet Art is a public art project of the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts (MCLA) designed to energize the creative economy and revitalize downtown North Adams.

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.
