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.

Berkshire Museum camps offer children going into grades Pre-K through 8 the chance to make connections between art, science, and history in the Museum’s new classrooms and throughout our galleries. Campers develop skills, create art, conduct experiments, and make new friends, all while having a ton of fun!

Berkshire Music School has a complete schedule of private lessons, group classes, workshops, and performances for musicians of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels.

The Music Together program is internationally recognized as a leader in early childhood music education. Each week families come together to sing, dance & jam together. Very young children learn best through play and we foster an enjoyable, non-performance oriented atmosphere, where adults, regardless of their own musical ability, can relax as they play musically with their children. We hope to inspire music-making in your everyday family life!
