FUN & LEARNING
TONIGHT! Thursday, Oct. 8 at 7 p.m. Join the Berkshire County Historical Society for stories, spirits, and giving at its first virtual fundraiser! The event will include an auction of unique birdhouses created from Herman Melville's barn at Arrowhead, a special menu from Spirited in Lenox, stories from local author Kevin O'Hara, and a unique look at Arrowhead with an eye towards preservation.
On Thursday, Oct. 15 at 6 p.m., join local artist Diane Firtell for IS183's next Artist Talk.
A trip to Nantucket with a new iPhone in 2015 opened up a new way of seeing and using a camera for Firtell. Having it always in hand allowed her to focus on the perfect photo as well as on becoming a documenter of her surroundings. Her 2016 project, "366 iPhone," documented a year of places she wouldn't normally have gone and an exploration of her interior space, and it provided material that continues to inspire new work.
