Free Drop-In Art Making

Friday, August 1, 5:30pm-7:30pm

Brothership Building, 141 North St., Pittsfield

Join BAC at our new Pittsfield location for creative family fun! Each month we will offer a rotating set of projects for families to participate in at their own pace, with the guidance and support of a Faculty Artist, during this ART-tastic drop-in event.

For August’s First Fridays at Five, Berkshire Art Center will be hosting the Berkshires Satellite Reef—part of the worldwide Crochet Coral Reef by artists Christine and Margaret Wertheim and the Institute for Figuring. It is a communally-sourced art project entailing the creation of a life-size coral reef made entirely out of crochet. It will be exhibited at Williams College in the ’62 Center for Theatre & Dance as an immersive installation in the spring of 2026. All ages and skill levels are welcome to participate!

Free Family Drop-Ins are held on the First Friday (5:30pm-7:30pm) of every month! All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Free Drop-Ins will not be held on any dates BAC is closed. Please see our list of observed holidays as well as information on weather cancelations HERE.
