Berkshire Art Center
Berkshire Art Center, formerly known as IS183 Art School, is the leading provider of high quality, hands-on instruction in the visual arts year-round at sites throughout Berkshire County. Founded in 1991 as a place where “people who love art, regardless of age or ability, can gather to experience creative expression,” Berkshire Art Center has evolved to reach over 2,500 students each year through studio-based classes, artistic events, and out-of-school engagement programs. Berkshire Art Center’s classes provide opportunities for our community to feel what it’s like to create the art seen in our local museums, to connect with local artists, and to be empowered to make something with their own hands.
