Coming Soon: Berkshire Directory of Creativity
If you have a website (or several) and you’d like to get the word out about the creative work you are doing here in the Berkshires – send us the link and we’ll add it to the Berkshire Art Kitchen website.
We are in the process of creating a directory of Berkshire-based creative businesses featuring artists, graphic designers, musicians, writers, as well as galleries, museums and other venues for creativity.
(Much needed in my opinion – so I hope you’ll send yours along!)
Here’s to your creativity!!!
