“We are thrilled that our many months of hard work have been rewarded with this designation [as an Appalachian Trail Community].”
-- Cheshire Appalachian Trail Community Committee co-chairs Eileen Quinn and Karen Daigle
Founded in 2016 upon the legacy of five American Renaissance authors who wrote in Pittsfield, the Mastheads is at once an urban architectural experiment, a literary research initiative, a writers’ residency and an educational program.
Each year five writers across disciplines will be awarded residencies for the Mastheads program that will include a $900 stipend, housing, daily lunch and exclusive use of one of five studios located throughout Pittsfield.
