The March First Fridays Artswalk will encompass over a dozen art shows featuring over two-dozen accomplished regional and student artists in Pittsfield’s bustling Upstreet Cultural District.

The March First Fridays Artswalk will kick –off with opening receptions and artists present throughout the “walk” from 5-8 pm on Friday, March 6.

There will be a free guided walking tour beginning at 5 pm on March 6 at the Intermodal Center at BRTA, 1 Columbus Ave.

The Lichtenstein Center for the Arts, 28 Renne Avenue will have “Forty Shades of Green: Celebrating Ireland & Irish Culture”. Both contemporary and traditional artwork on the theme is represented in Berkshire County’s only Irish Art Show, including photography, painting, sculpture and craft.

The Whitney Center for the Arts, 42 Wendell Avenue, will feature Lions and Lambs. Lions and Lambs is a play on how March comes in like a lion but goes out like a lamb, or so the saying goes. Work depicting actual animals is incorporated, especially lions and lambs, but other animal  & Landscape imagery is included as well.
