Join BAC for a special night celebrating our Berkshire Art Center community! Thank YOU, our incredible members, for supporting BAC and being part of the creative magic that happens here. Bring your kids. Bring your dog. Bring your whole-hearted, joy-filled selves to Drifting Studio (stationed outside BAC's Citizens' Hall at 13 Willard Hill Road, Stockbridge) for a two-hour creative adventure designed for families (and their four-legged companions) as a token of appreciation for our members where art, music, food, and community come together.

Projects will include pet rock painting and pinch pots using air dry clay Throughout the session, we’ll pause for short moments of mindfulness—inviting everyone (yes, even the dogs) to settle, breathe, and enjoy the simple delight of making something by hand. No prior art experience is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to play.

All are welcome and registration is suggested but not required and this event is FREE for ALL!

Those without dogs are encouraged to attend too!


Following the event, all attendees will receive a coupon code for an extra 15% off one program (members will receive this on top of their regular 15% member discount) (valid for Summer in the Studios, Summer, or Fall classes).
