Cultural Pittsfield This Week: March 29-April 4
11:10AM / Friday, March 29, 2019
Print | Email  


Lichtenstein Center for the Arts will host a FREE event with a panel of local artists who will speak about their experiences as artists in the Berkshires and beyond. They'll answer questions about navigating the arts scene, networking in the artist community, marketing, how to prepare for an exhibition and more.  

First Fridays Artswalk will have representatives on hand to speak specifically about Artswalk and how to get involved! New, aspiring, professional, amateur, student, teen and veteran artists are invited to come network and be part of the discussion. Spanish translation will be available. 1 p.m.

The Tyler Street Lab @ 730 is a pop-up that creates a community space out of an underutilized storefront. The city's Office of Cultural Development, in collaboration with the Transformative Development Initiative, is putting out two calls for art: a storefront configuration challenge and a community art installation challenge. For both, they are looking for ideas that reflect the eclectic nature of Tyler Street and the surrounding Morningside neighborhood. There will 
be a stipend of up to $850 to the award-winning designs - one from each challenge.
  
Interested artists are invited to view the Tyler Street Lab @ 730 space on Friday, March 29 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. For more information, or to set up an appointment to see the space at another time, contact the Tyler Street Lab Collaboration at tylerstreetlabpitt@gmail.com.
