In his letter to the editor, Peter Dudek writes: “The [Berkshire] museum has hardened itself against any criticism. No one can sway them. Welcome to the new museum.”
The Feigenbaum Foundation is providing $2.5 million in support of the Berkshire Museum’s New Vision campaign, the largest single gift to the museum since its founding in 1903.
"This is a creative community that thrives with the inspiration and energy of hundreds of concerts, performances and exhibits throughout the year, as well as the educational and thought-provoking programs created through the CPB. All would be jeopardized if the nation no longer celebrated or supported the arts as integral to our democracy.”
--- Beryl Jolly, executive director of the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center in Great Barrington
BerkShares are now available throughout Berkshire County. “BerkShares resonate strongly with our own company’s values.”
--- Charlie O’Brien, president and CEO at Adams Community Bank.
"Economic gardening really starts in your backyard, and we really like the way that BerkShares create a virtuous circle, in which we can recirculate money in our local economy."
-- Van Shields, executive director of the Berkshire Museum
