Berkshire Stonewall Community Coalition, LGBTQ in the Berkshires

Sparkling Wine & Chocolate Reception Fundraise

jason — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 23:45:37 +0000

Berkshire Stonewall and the Kolok Gallery will be hosting a champagne and chocolate reception at the Kolok Gallery on September 11th from 6:30-9:30pm. The event will showcase work by Robert M. Diago, a gay artist from Dallas Texas, whose current show,”home•less•bound•ness

“, makes use of “unlikely materials and clever wordplay to raise questions and stimulate dialogue about homelessness, community, indifference and over-consumption”.

Enjoy a lovely selection of sparkling wines, as well as chocolates made by a local North Adams confectioner, while listening to the the lovely music of Nana Simopoulos and Caryn Heilman of Topia Arts Center.

Admission to this event is a Suggested Donation of $10. All proceeds from this event to benefit S.A.F.E., a charity dedicated to finding homes for displaced GLBTQ youth.

10% of sales from Robert’s exhibit “home•less•bound•ness”, will be donated to Soldier On; a non-profit organization dedicated to housing homeless veterans.

So please show up for what should be a stellar evening and help combat homelessness in both our own small community and the community as a whole.

Jae’s Spice

In its previous life the circa 1840’s four story building that houses Spice was home to the legendary Besse-Clark Department Store. An upscale purveyor of clothing, sporting goods and general merchandise, the store flourished during the years that Pittsfield was General Electric’s world headquarters. This flagship building on historic North Street, newly renovated and sporting mahogany trim and welcoming bright red awnings, is now home to the region’s ultimate destination for fine Asian and American food.
