Whitney Center for the Arts, nestled in the heart of the Berkshires in Pittsfield, is dedicated to elevating performance and visual arts. Pittsfield is also referred to as “The Brooklyn of the Berkshires”, edgy, creative and an alternative to stodgy and predictable art scenes.The Whit, as it is affectionately called is housed in a historic mansion, just down the road from Tanglewood and Historic Lenox and a scenic drive from Mass MOCA. Pittsfield is the largest city in the Berkshires, the County seat and a growing artistic and cultural hub with several theaters and arts institutions within a few steps of the Whit.
