Throw a stone and you ’ ll hit an artist in Hampshire County .
Not literally ; don ’ t hurt the artists ! We revere and celebrate the arts , and in return , we ’ re chock full of creative types who beautify our landscapes and downtowns with murals and sculptures , and croon to us in unexpected places . We appreciate “ high art ,” but we welcome novices . Who knows — maybe you ’ ll grab an easel and start painting from the banks of our streams like Thomas Cole himself .
