For 2012, the City of Pittsfield’s Office of Cultural Development has chosen the themes of Melville and Moby Dick for its’ outdoor art extravaganza. “Call Me Melville” will offer a large number and variety of art expressions in the downtown area of Pittsfield. At Arrowhead, under the umbrella of “The Power of Genius: Landscape and Inspiration”, we will be offering a multitude of artistic offering and possibilities. From plays of the Melville family, written by Sally Filkins and performed by the VOICES Theatre Company, a straw sculpture of Ahab and Moby-Dick by Michael Melle in our North Field, a poetry house, Art in the Barn,and painters in the field, we’‘ll explore all the ways that location can inspire. Check back for more details as the season approaches or check us out on Facebook.
