Local Does Matter
December 12, 2009
Dear BerkShares Businesses,
As the local currency for the Berkshire region we're proud to support the
vast array of BerkShares-accepting arts organizations and businesses spread
throughout the region. They feature homegrown theater, music, writing,
photography, pottery, jewelry, painting, filmmaking, design, and many other
artistic undertakings. Increasingly, creative opportunities are emerging for
organizations, businesses and individual artists to work together to
stimulate the local creative economy. Local non-profit Berkshire Creative
provides many opportunities for such collaborations. Visit them at
http://www.berkshirecreative.org.
One upcoming opportunity is the Annual Storefront Artist Salon taking place
this Wednesday, December 9, 6:30 to 8:00 p.m., at Ferrin Gallery entitled
"Local Does Matter: Building Sustainability in the Arts Community."
This year, as Berkshire county continues to focus on the issues of consumer
choice and green living, the gallery explores how "Buy Local - By Local"
relates to the visual arts. Cultural leaders with roles in the creative
economy will participate in a moderated conversation about how the "Buy
Local" concept can create sustainability for artists, galleries and
nonprofit organizations. Visit their website for more details:

We encourage you to support all our BerkShares artists and arts
organizations and businesses. Please visit the BerkShares directory pages
listed below to view their listings.
Best Wishes,
The BerkShares Team
