Dewey Hall
91 Main Street - Sheffield, MA (413) 429-1176
Traditional Quebecois and New Foundland Acoustic Music Duo

Keith Murphy and Yann Falquet, in a new collaboration, create a fresh new sound of open-tuned guitars along with mandolin and mandola for an exciting mix of traditional songs.Yann Falquet and Keith Murphy are both masters of contemporary trad guitar, representing the compelling textures, harmonies and rhythms that this instrument has brought to traditional songs and instrumentals since the Celtic music revival in the 1970s. As singers, they bring a rich blend of the Franco and Anglo song traditions. Yann comes with a wealth of songs from the French Canadian cultural heritage. He is probably best known for his work with the Quebecois trio Genticorum. He also performs in a duo with his wife and cellist, Natalie Haas, alongside fiddlers Alasdair Fraser and Brittany Haas in New World Assembly, and as a guest of member of The Seamus Egan Project.Keith is a highly respected traditional singer and brings a song repertoire filled with gems from his native Newfoundland as well as Quebec and his current home, Vermont. He was a founding member of the ground-breaking trio, Nightingale, and is the artistic director of the Brattleboro Music Center’s Northern Roots Festival and music director for the WGBH annual St Patrick’s Celtic Sojourn.

This event is sponsored by Berkshire Veneer.

NUarts Studios and Gallery
311 North Street, 2nd Floor, Corner of Union - Pittsfield, MA (617) 750-5003
NUarts Studios and Gallery is the home of a constantly evolving, eclectic group of artists creating and exhibiting on the 2nd floor of the Greylock Building at 311 North Street in downtown Pittsfield. Presently there are numerous visual artists working in varied media, musicians, a sound studio, and a videographer. NUarts open for First Friday's Artswalk each month from May through October and again in December. During August the artists listed below will be opening their doors and the hallways will be filled with art by many of the artists who rent space on the floor. Those arists who have committed to the August 2nd Artswalk are,
Karen S. Jacobs, Studio 13-14, generally refers to much of her work as abstract, moody, landscapes. A transplant from Eastern Mass, Karen garners great inspiration from her surroundings and adores living in the Berkshires.

Caroline Kelley’s Studio 10 is packed full of small, colorful abstract paintings; all part of an ongoing 100 day project. Her focus has been on the study of shape, line and color. She has plenty of extra canvas paper lying around for people to come by and try a small painting for themselves!

Peggy Morse, Studio 11, will be exhibiting colorful abstract acrylic paintings on paper and canvas. Her genre can best be described as organic abstraction, as she works with a variety of tools to mimic Nature in its randomness and complex beauty.

Sally Tiska Rice, Studio 15, lives in a rural Berkshire town, where she is inspired by her surroundings. Sally focuses on blending and layering to achieve depth and dimension. She also experiments with light and color in an effort to create a piece that will be enjoyed. Sally uses spontaneity to compose multimedia artwork as well as many beautiful commission art pieces for customers internationally. Her commission pieces are usually created from one or more images that the customer has chosen to blend together to form a one of a kind piece of art.

Ilene Richard, Studio 6, a recent transplant from Andover, Mass., with gallery representation in Vermont, Florida, and New York, has been drawing and painting for as far back as she can remember. She is an accomplished illustrator of children's books (for sale in her studio) and a painter. Of colorful figurative paintings, dog portraits, florals, and abstracts.

Marney Schorr, Studio 12, is a teaching artist & art therapist whose practice includes painting, drawing, mixed media, assemblage, sand tray and collage. She creates abstracts and personal narratives with a focus on the therapeutic use of art materials. Marney is committed to making the arts accessible through community and volunteer projects. She facilitates regular local arts events for adults, children, teens and families including: Arts in Recovery for Youth, Art in Recovery for Women, Transforming Depression with Art, Women & The Creative Self at Osher Life Long Learning Institute.

August 7   SCREENPLAY BY STALIN BY TOM FONTANA
Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center
14 Castle Street - Great Barrington, MA (413) 528-0100
World premiere! TIX JUST $15!!!!!!
Screenplay by Stalin, a staged reading of a new play written by Tom Fontana (Oz, St. Elsewhere, Homicide: Life on the Street, City on a Hill), directed by BPL Co-Artistic Director Joe Cacaci.

In a room below Joseph Stalin, a pair of screenwriters have just completed a script for a film celebrating the Soviet triumph over the Nazis, and they’re anxiously waiting to hear what the man upstairs thinks.  Upon discovering that their room is wiretapped, and then overhearing a few suspicious orders just outside their door, they realize there may be a serious price to pay if their fearless leader isn’t happy.  When they do finally get some feedback, the writers have to decide whether sticking to the truth is worth risking their lives.

Berkshire Playwrights Lab’s annual Staged Reading Series presents new plays that are developed in an intense rehearsal process that provides playwrights an opportunity to work closely with a director and professional actors to refine their script through rehearsal, performance, and the post-reading audience talkback session.

A dance party to end this summer — and maybe all summers! The experimental hip-hop and electronic artist, label-founder, filmmaker, Adult Swim mastermind, and all-around wizard of the LA underground beat scene Flying Lotus swoops into town as part of a limited tour, with a video wall, 3-D glasses for all, and a head full of crazy music just waiting to come out. Inspired by Madlib, Herbie Hancock, MF Doom, Miles Davis, J Dilla, and his great aunt and uncle – Alice and John Coltrane – he creates grooves and beats that will open, then blow, your mind.
