LENOX, Mass.  The town of Lenox will host the 2022 Fall Art Walk event from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sept. 10 and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sept. 11. 

The event is a collaboration with the Lenox Chamber of Commerce, the Lenox Cultural District and Gordon Fine Arts. This is the 5th Lenox Art Walk to be held. 

The Art Walk is a curated show of artists and artisans who showcase their work throughout downtown Lenox. The Artists’ tents will be set up along the Main Street sidewalk and into Lilac Park.

A wide range of Artists representing various mediums are invited to display their artwork and artisan products over the two day event. Offerings include paintings, drawings, photographs, ceramics, fiber arts, jewelry and clothing. 

The event, which began in Fall of 2020 in an effort to introduce high end Artists to the residents and visitors of Lenox has grown to upwards of 70 Artists. New this event, the Lenox Chamber has partnered with Berkshire Busk to provide entertainment.

There will be performers on both days from 11-3 at the Church St Dining Terrace and 80 Church St, and from 3-5 at The Whitlock and the corner of Church and Housatonic St. 

"Our goal is to continue merging Art and Commerce in a beautiful setting like the Berkshires that attracts people who have a great appreciation for what is offered at our shows. For this Spring Art Walk, we are having to turn Artists away because the event has become so popular. We want all of the Artists to make money, so it is important to maintain a show size that allows that," said Sue Gordon of Gordon Fine Arts. 

Also as part of the Lenox Art Walk festival, there will be food vendors and entertainment in Lilac Park with tables and chairs to enjoy the outdoor space and have lunch. This section will include artisanal products such as olive oils, Charcuterie, French pastries and other food vendors still TBD. The event kicks off Saturday, September 10 at 10:00am.

Pittsfield Reviews Financial Condition Before FY27 Budget

By Brittany PolitoiBerkshires Staff

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The average single-family home in Pittsfield has increased by more than 40 percent since 2022. 

This was reported during a joint meeting of the City Council and School Committee on March 19, when the city's financial condition was reviewed ahead of the fiscal year 2027 budget process.

Mayor Peter Marchetti said the administration is getting "granular" with line items to find cost savings in the budget.  At the time, they had spoken to a handful of departments, asking tough questions and identifying vacancies and retirements. 

Last fiscal year’s $226,246,942 spending plan was a nearly 4.8 percent increase from FY24. 

In the last five years, the average single-family home in Pittsfield has increased 42 percent, from $222,073 in 2022 to $315,335 in 2026. 

"Your tax bill is your property value times the tax rate," the mayor explained. 

"When the tax rate goes up, it's usually because property values have gone down. When the property values go up, the tax rate comes down." 

Tax bills have increased on average by $280 per year over the last five years; the average home costs $5,518 annually in 2026. In 2022, the residential tax rate was $18.56 per thousand dollars of valuation, and the tax rate is $17.50 in 2026.
