County-Wide Event Announces Call for Artists in All Disciplines

ArtWeek Berkshires, a county-wide collaboration, will take place May 15-25, and you can be a part of it.   The ArtWeek committee has posted its online call for artists. The non-juried event is free to all individuals, organizations, and businesses in the Berkshires interested in showcasing creative work.  ArtWeek Berkshires features more than 100 events each year.  Submissions from actors, cartoonists, crafters, dancers, designers, filmmakers, illustrators, mimes, multimedia artists, musicians, performance artists, poets, puppeteers, theater artists, visual artists, writers – and more – are encouraged.  The event will feature open studios, gallery talks, theater, performances, workshops, and more interactive experiences.

“ArtWeek Berkshires is unique in that it is the only county-wide collaborative cultural event hosted by the Cultural Districts of Berkshire County,” said Jen Glockner, Pittsfield’s Cultural Development Director and ArtWeek Berkshires 2026 Steering Committee co-chair, along with Laura Brennan at Berkshire Regional Planning Commission. “We welcome all artists and organizations, whether you’re an emerging artist or seasoned professional, to consider submitting an event to ArtWeek Berkshires.”

The county-wide collaboration spotlights Berkshire County’s five state-designated Cultural Districts – the Downtown Great Barrington Cultural District, Lenox Cultural District, North Adams Cultural District, Upstreet Cultural District in Pittsfield, and Williamstown Cultural District. Funds pooled by the five cultural districts, through grants from the Mass Cultural Council, make this event possible and support marketing and promotion to shine a spotlight on participants.  If you are an artist, arts organization, or business that would like to participate in ArtWeek Berkshires 2026, you may sign up online: ArtWeek Berkshires May 15-25, 2026.
