We Plan on listing the arts in the berkshires and surrounds, artists galleries, museums,and selected music performances. You'll find complete listings of the area museums including Williams College Art Museum, Berkshire Museum, Mass Moca Modern Art Museum, Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute and others.

Vincent van Gogh Artists Quotes
I think these quotes are so revealing

The only time I feel alive is when I'm painting.

I am still far from being what I want to be, but with God's help I shall succeed.

I certainly hope to sell in the course of time, but I think I shall be able to influence it most effectively by working steadily on, and that at the present moment making desperate efforts to force the work I am doing now upon the public would be pretty useless.

My opinion is that the best thing would be to work on till art lovers feel drawn toward it of their own accord, instead of having to praise or to explain it.

I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say 'he feels deeply, he feels tenderly.'
