The excitement has been building for months as the artists of Art on No have been refurbishing the upstairs hall, soon to be re-opened as the “Upstairs Gallery” of Art on No.
The studios are filled with 17 artists in a diverse range of media consisting of painters of all mediums, printmakers, silk screen artists, musicians, videographers, sound recorders, jewelry designers, photographers, theatre and more. The Art on No group is one of the largest concentrations of artists under one roof working in downtown Pittsfield. With the goal to increase support for the arts in downtown Pittsfield and to keep the town lively and creative.
In October 2004, artist Annie Laurie spearheaded a project to get empty offices on the 2nd floor of 311 North Street ready for local artists to rent, soon the studios were at 100% capacity and completely transformed. Since then, the building owner Irving Cohen has supported Laurie’s vision of having affordable working spaces for artists in downtown Pittsfield, and has made many improvements to the building.
