Outdoor and indoor art, music, local history, and river activities offer different ways to plan your visit.

Art at TurnPark

TurnPark Art Space is a 16-hectare sculpture park and arts venue for visitors of all ages. Its collection includes outdoor sculptures, and there are also two indoor exhibition spaces. The marble amphitheater is designed for outdoor events. The combination of outdoor art, indoor spaces, and an amphitheater gives the venue several formats: you can experience it as a sculpture park, an exhibition venue, or in connection with an event. TurnPark Art Space is located in West Stockbridge at 2 Moscow Road.

Gallery and Jazz

Art on Main Gallery offers a different exhibition format: it presents exhibitions curated by members of the Guild of Berkshire Artists, each running for one month. The program may change with the seasons. If a particular exhibition is central to your travel plans, check the dates in advance.

Music is also part of the cultural offering. The West Stockbridge Historical Society hosts a jazz series at the Old Town Hall, with concerts by local and regional jazz musicians performing various styles of jazz. Here, concerts complement the visual arts: music gives your stay its own cultural focus. If a concert is a deciding factor in your trip, check the current schedule. To compare the art venues: TurnPark combines outdoor sculptures, indoor exhibition spaces, and an amphitheater; Art on Main presents curated exhibitions that run for one month.

Village History and the Williams River

For a focus on local history, the West Stockbridge Historical Society offers walking tours through its historic village. The walks put the village itself at the center; the jazz series, by contrast, is a concert format at the Old Town Hall. The Williams River’s watershed extends to the center of West Stockbridge. Fishing is one of the recreational activities along the riverbank. This gives you two distinct options: local history on a walk through the village, and recreation along the Williams River.
