LENOX, Mass. — The work of more than two dozen established artists from the Berkshire community will be on sale to benefit Alzheimer's research starting this Saturday, Sept. 27 at Kimball Farms Life Care Community in Lenox.
A variety of media, including photography, painting, prints, fiber arts and ceramics will be featured from creators such as Stephanie Anderson, Diane Firtell, Ann Getsinger, Dan Mead, Sally Eagle and Peggy Braun.
A reception for the show, designated "Art for Alzheimer's," will be held on Saturday from 3-5 p.m. at Kimball Farms, 235 Walker St., Lenox, and the art will be on sale and available for a week, through Saturday, Oct. 4. Kimball Farms is a facility that offers memory care as well as independent and assisted living options.
Proceeds from the sale will benefit the fundraising of the Kimball Farms Walk team as they prepare for the Berkshire Walk to End Alzheimer's which will step off on Saturday, Oct. 18 from the Adams Visitors Center, 3 Hoosac St.
The walk is the Alzheimer's Association's premier fundraising event supporting Alzheimer's research, and information about Alzheimer's and other dementias will be available at the art show reception on Saturday. Teams like the one gathering on behalf of Kimball Farms will be registering until walk day, and sponsors for the event are also being sought.
