The Black Arts Council has sought to better understand and engage Black community members by surveying  their  lived experiences so that black people can begin to see themselves better represented within Berkshire arts and culture Institutions. The Black Arts Council’s goals are to increase Festivals & Street Fairs, build Black Voices & Black Vendor/Art Spaces while also promoting Interactive Performances, Open Mics, & Learning Beyond The Classroom.
