the artsy side
Emily Dickinson Museum, Amherst
Throw a stone and you’ ll hit an artist in Hampshire County.
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.
