Join us at THE PARTY Saturday, August 27!

The public is invited to THE PARTY to celebrate a summer filled with art in downtown Pittsfield. Featuring fabulous delectables by Pittsfield's own Cafe Reva, groovy jazz music by the ArtShow Jazz Trio featuring Dave Christopolis, and great art on the wall by ArtShow artists from New York City to the Berkshires and beyond up for sale via silent auction.

Creative hatwear is encouraged! It starts at 6pm and goes until 10pm at the Howard Building, located at 132 Fenn Street at the corner of First Street. The silent auction of the ArtShow Selected Works Exhibition pieces, including sculpture, painting, photography and drawing, ends at 8pm.

Tickets are $15 and can be reserved in advance (or purchased via credit card) by calling 413-443-6501 or emailing downtown@rnetworx.com. If you are going to another cultural event the same evening, show your ticket and save $5. All proceeds benefit the non-profit organizations Downtown Inc. and ArtShow Street Galleries in support of their work in bringing ArtShow to the streets of Pittsfield this summer. MANY THANKS to ALL of ArtShow's sponsors, especially our major sponsor, Legacy Banks, media sponsors the Berkshire Eagle and CBS Channel 6, and THE PARTY sponsor...
