Work on display from local artists belonging to two Pittsfield-based organizations:

Manos Unidas +
Roots & Dreams and Mustard Seeds

Manos Unidas is a multicultural cooperative-based organization that strives to unearth the common strengths and innate skills of our underheard community through shared bilingual resources, empowerment ventures, living arts, cross cultural organizing, and cooperative economy initiatives. Working alongside low income, immigrant, youth, and differently-abled community citizens, we are unfolding a culture of "Beloved Community" (MLK Jr.) while crossing borders of race, class culture, language, ability, and belief hand in hand.

Roots & Dreams and Mustard Seeds provides mutual aid and development support in order to empower vulnerable communities in the creation of worker co-ops, housing cooperatives, and community owned real-estate. "Working collaboratively with local, regional, and federal partners to build out grassroots solidarity economy initiatives here in Pittsfield, MA and surrounding Berkshires, we can better enable socially just and equitable economic futures for ourselves and our communities."
