PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Berkshire Community College (BCC) will hold a student art show Thursday, May 8 from 4-7 p.m. in the Koussevitzky Art Gallery, located on BCC's main campus at 1350 West Street, Pittsfield.

The event is free and open to the public, and light refreshments will be served.

The student art show, a BCC Visual Arts department tradition that began in the early 1980s, is held every spring.

All students enrolled in a studio art class show their artwork, and the event is run like a professional gallery, explained Professor of Fine Arts Lisa Griffith.

"Each art major must assist in the installation of their work. It is an excellent learning experience that offers artists the opportunity to discuss their work with the public," Griffith said.
