The mission of the Pittsfield Art Show is to present a high-quality, outdoor summer show of fine art and crafts to make downtown Pittsfield an art destination. In addition to providing a venue for regional and national artists, the Pittsfield Art Show serves as a vehicle for local, emerging artists to get experience in marketing and selling their work in a supported, safe setting.

The Pittsfield Art Show is a joint project of the City of Pittsfield’s Artscape Committee and Office of Cultural Development, Downtown, Inc., and the Berkshire Art Association in cooperation with RSVP and the Store Front Artists Project. Major underwriting is being provided by The Berkshire Eagle with additional generous support from local businesses.
