"When I look at the Berkshires at large, I see a ton of potential," said Berkshire Boulders co-owner Nick Friedman. "There are certain forms of outdoor recreation in the Berkshires that remain underrepresented, and there's a real opportunity on the table to bring better representation to these sports."
The intent of the "Visual Poetry of Suburban Pittsfield" exhibit is to demonstrate the fact that one's neighborhood can be as suitable a subject matter for paintings as any of the more classic views of the Berkshires.
