ARTSCAPE
Public Art in Downtown Pittsfield
2011 Exhibition

Artscape is a volunteer-led committee in the city of Pittsfield that sponsors an annual outdoor juried exhibition of public art. Artscape’s mission is to enhance the downtown’s character and attract visitors by installing and promoting works of art in various outdoor locations throughout the downtown.

Artscape was also a lead organizer of the 2004 Sheeptacular public art project, as well as the 2006-2007 Art Of The Game public art project that brings art and baseball together in unexpected ways.  

Artscape invites people of all ages to explore the variety of public art in downtown Pittsfield with artist, educator Craig Langlois from Berkshire Museum. 

Langlois will guide participants on their walk through historic downtown Pittsfield to discover some of the nearly 50 pieces of public art including sculptures, mixed media installations, and murals in the downtown area.

Artscape’s Walking Tours are:

All tours begin at 1 pm. The tours will start and end at the Pittsfield Visitors’ Center on North Street (Route 7) in Pittsfield, next to The Colonial Theatre. Each tour will last approximately 90 minutes. For more details or weather concerns, contact the Pittsfield Visitor’s Center at 413-443-9186 or the Lichtenstein Art Center at 413-499-9348.
