Art Close to Home: Art, Nature, History is an outdoor art experience mobilized by visual artists, filmmakers, documentarians, and curators. Participating artists create work that is exhibited on hiking trails, at historic sites, conservation areas, and other outdoor spaces. The shows are documented and shared to broader audiences. Our mission is to expand the art viewing experience into socially distanced and unexpected spaces often found close to home. To learn more about upcoming shows, visit our events page.

Art Close to Home is supported, in part, by Fractured Atlas; and Pittsfield, Dalton, Windsor, Northern Berkshire, Richmond, Lee, Otis, and Sandisfield Cultural Councils, which are supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
