Welcome to the Berkshires, "America's Premier Cultural Resort"
A Note From Richard
As artists, it is our nature to be eternal optimists. What we do is personal, and we have chosen to share our vision with whoever is interested? Amazingly, for decades, we have been able to achieve our mission uninterrupted, with another show opportunity almost weekly providing a steady year-round income for most of us.. That is until now. Although there is light at the end of the tunnel, we don't know what we don't know? With that, we are planning to add several new events that we are calling Roadside Art Fairs, a practical, low-cost, low-risk approach to meeting thousands of new customers every day.
Information will be coming soon.
If the show must be cancelled due to Covid restrictions, booth fees will be fully refunded.

It is highly recommended as one of THE places to go for family get-togethers and an extraordinary shopping experience.
