By Breanna SteeleiBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art Commission approved a new tenant Monday for the third floor of Building 1, above Bright Ideas Brewery.
Gianne Inc. uses recycled materials to create funcational art.
"They are corporation that recycles textiles into functional handmade home art pieces such as quilts and rugs, promoting sustainability through creative design," said Jason Ahuja, senior manager of public initiatives.
According to Ahuja, the company is a mother and son duo who will be producing their work in the 400 square foot space.

Director of Public Initiatives & Real Estate Morgan Everett updated the commission on an upcoming exhibition, "Race/Hustle" by Zora J Murff. The exhibit will be on view starting Dec. 6.
The exhibit features many different types of works "that examine physical, psychic, and political violence, the rhythms and resonances of oppression throughout history and into the present, and the harmful desires that our visual culture cultivates," according to the Mass MoCA website.
The museum will host the recommendations for the Veterans Memorial Bridge and the surrounding area. This will be on Friday, Dec. 12, at 3 p.m. in the swing space and is open to the public. click for more
