Announcing Artist Talks & Exhibition Openings for Berkshire Artist Residency Program 2023

Berkshire Art Center’s 2023 Artists-In-Residence, Noah Beauregard and Kelly Potter, are celebrating the end of their residencies this summer with virtual artist talks and in-person exhibition openings at The Red Lion Inn and Chesterwood.

Red Lion Inn Artist-In-Residence, Noah Beauregard, will have a virtual artist talk on Thursday, August 31st, from 6 to 7 p.m. followed by the opening of his exhibition, “NOCTURNE”, on Saturday, September 9th, from 4 to 6 p.m. at The Red Lion Inn. In his artist talk, Beauregard will be reviewing his upcoming show at The Red Lion Inn and discussing his onsite experience and inspiration. The Red Lion Inn has been the perfect location for Beauregard’s modern take on the classic fauvism style.

Chesterwood Artist-In-Residence, Kelly Potter, will have a virtual artist talk on Thursday, September 7th, from 6 to 7 p.m. followed by the opening of her exhibition, “Friend or Foe”, on Saturday, September 16th, from 4 to 6 p.m. at Chesterwood. Using oil painting and wall mounted ceramic relief sculpture, Potter’s work investigates a dynamic between the tamed and the untamed.

The heart of the Berkshire Artist Residency is to give local visual artists the opportunity to create new work inspired by their home county. The tailored program gives visual artists exclusive access to world class cultural facilities and historic landmarks to develop new work that intertwines with the fabric of our county. The Berkshire Artist Residency is supported in part by a grant from the Stockbridge Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
