COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Our Community Engagement program is committed to establishing and growing partnerships with neighboring community and arts organizations to develop pathways for overcoming social and practical barriers so that immigrants, people of color, communities with low income, and others who have traditionally been underserved in the performing arts, can attend performances at the Mahaiwe. Recent partnerships include those with VIM (Volunteers in Medicine Berkshires), Clinton Church Restoration, and the Town of Great Barrington W.E.B. Du Bois Legacy Committee.
