SUMMARY:Let It Shine! Artist Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Downtown Pittsfield\, Inc. and Framework will feature a brand-new “Let It Shine! Artist Exhibition” featuring 4 local artists at Framework by Downtown Pittsfield\, Inc. (437 North Street). \nFeatured artists are Carly Holmes\, Riley Wilde\, Jesus Alicea\, and Kenny Davis. \nThere will be an opening reception with the artists during the August 1st First Fridays Artswalk from 5 to 8 pm. \nThe exhibition will be on view Monday through Thursday\, 10 am to 2 pm\, August 1 through August 25\, by visiting the Downtown Pittsfield\, Inc. offices at 431 North Street. \nCarly Holmes is a lifelong resident of Pittsfield and describes herself as an emerging artist with a passion for creating art. “I have always loved creating art\,” Carly says. “As a child\, I was constantly drawing and crafting. I have explored drawing\, ceramics\, and 3-dimensional design. But painting with acrylics is where my true passion lies. I view my work as a reflection of my ever-evolving interests\, and as a personal outlet for self-expression.” \nThe Pittsfield Let It Shine! Public Art Partnership has selected Carly to co-create a new mural to be located at the Berkshire Regional Transit Authority Intermodal Center alongside mentor artist\, Jesse Tobin McCauley. The mural will debut at a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony this summer. Carly is also the City of Pittsfield’s inaugural artist-in-residence\, and she is currently working out of studio space in the Lichtenstein Center for the Arts. \nRiley Wilde’s journey as an aspiring visual artist began in 2021 and has become vital in expressing herself in ways that words can’t anymore. Each painting is led by intuition and always with a new approach to create a vibrant and intriguing piece of work. \n“Sustainability is key to my process\, as it doesn’t feel right unless I’m practicing with a considerate mindset\,” says Riley. “Using recycled bottles for paint\, repurposing old canvases\, and catching excess drips to create new pieces is the only way I practice. Trying not to waste anything — creatively or emotionally.” \n“In the last year\, I’ve been expanding my practice while in collaboration with my partner and fellow artist\, Daniel Stone\, on some very large pieces. He has also challenged me to consider working with new surfaces\, styles\, and methods. Such as\, creating reliefs\, mosaics\, illustrating figures\, and using acrylic and wood surfaces. This has been rewarding and valuable in my growth as an artist and has made me feel seen. I’m looking forward to what my work continues to evolve into. Sometimes it’s messy and weird\, but also alive. A reflection of everything I’ve survived and everything I’ve yet to bloom into.” \nJesus Alicea is a multidisciplinary artist driven by a deep love for language and visual storytelling. His work explores the relationship between words and images—through logo design\, poster art\, cartoons\, poetry\, and creative writing. \nJesus creates playful yet purposeful visuals\, often using illustrated characters to deliver promotional messages in ways that text or live action can’t. “My design work focuses on clarity and meaning\, whether I’m crafting a logo or composing a visual narrative\,” says Jesus. \n“Storytelling is at the core of my practice. Through poetry and media projects\, I aim to connect with audiences in ways that are both creative and accessible. I’m always open to feedback\, collaboration\, and new creative challenges.” \nKenny Davis is a lifelong resident of Pittsfield who has worked on several murals around the city. “In my senior year at Pittsfield High School\, I both experimented with my 2D style and created 3D works to tell my unique story\,” says Kenny. “Now that I am eighteen years old\, I am working on developing a vibrant style that makes me proud!” \nThe gallery at Framework by Downtown Pittsfield\, Inc. is funded in part by a grant from the Pittsfield Cultural Council; a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency.

SUMMARY:Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap
DESCRIPTION:A timeless classic that has kept audiences on the edge of their seats for over 70 years\, Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap is the ultimate whodunit. When a group of strangers becomes snowbound in a remote countryside guesthouse\, a chilling murder sets off a race against time to unmask the culprit. With each guest harboring secrets of their own\, suspicion runs high\, and everyone is a suspect in this masterfully crafted mystery. Directed by acclaimed director and choreographer Gerry McIntyre\, whose work in Broadway and regional theatre has received widespread recognition\, this production brings a compelling vision to the classic mystery. \n“The Mousetrap is the epitome of an Agatha Christie mystery—brilliantly constructed\, full of red herrings\, and laced with suspense and humor. A theatrical institution\, it continues to delight audiences with its twists and turns.” –The Guardian \nThe longest-running play in theatre history\, The Mousetrap remains as captivating today as when it first premiered in London’s West End in 1952. Christie’s signature blend of tension\, intrigue and unexpected revelations ensures that no two audiences experience the story in quite the same way. Whether you’re a longtime Christie fan or a newcomer to the world of classic mysteries\, The Mousetrap is an unmissable theatrical experience that will leave you guessing until the very last moment. \nRecommended for ages 7 and up. \nProduction\nwritten by Agatha Christie\ndirected by Gerry McIntyre \nPreviews: Thursday\, July 24 at 7 pm & Friday\, July 25 at 7 pm\nOpening/Press Night: Saturday\, July 26 at 7 pm\nClosing: Sunday\, August 17 at 2 pm \nTickets: Preview: $60\nTickets: $115 VIP\, $90 Premium & $75 Standard; $38 Teen \nClick here to purchase tickets!
