MASS MoCA • North Adams, Massachusetts

One of our favorite museums to visit… The Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art is one of the world’s liveliest centers for making and enjoying today’s most evocative art. With vast galleries and a stunning collection of indoor and outdoor performing arts venues that embrace all forms of art: music, sculpture, dance, film, painting, photography, theater, and new, boundary-crossing works of art that defy easy classification.

They also have affordably priced cafés, a full-service restaurant, and an innovative microbrewery that spotlights locally malted grains and hops grown in the Berkshire valley. Another wonderful indoor winter activity! (Less than 90 minutes from Pond Mountain Inn)

Here’s What The Museum Says About This Exhibition…

Artist kelli rae adams will be on-site many weekends throughout the exhibition run, check below for the schedule.

Student loan debt in the US today totals over 1.7 trillion dollars and is collectively borne by more than 44 million Americans, including artist kelli rae adams. With her installation Forever in Your Debt, adams converts this abstract burden into a tangible volume. She has crafted hundreds of wheel-thrown vessels, sized to collectively hold the average individual student debt —$37,000—in the form of coins. Each unique bowl holds approximately a pint of mixed change, worth about $40; this is also the value she assigns to the labor embodied in each vessel.

Old First Church of Bennington Photo Collage

The First Congregational Church of Bennington, also known as the Old First Church, is located in Old Bennington, Vermont. The Old First Church was gathered in 1762, the first Protestant church in Vermont. Much of the early history of Bennington and of Vermont took place in and around the original Meeting House, built in 1763… Enjoy our brief photo collage taken during our recent Southern Vermont & The Berkshires Day Trip. (Content taken from the church website.)
