“North Adams is slowly becoming this kind of musical cultural hub. And it’s because of things like the Fresh Grass Institute. It’s because things like Wilco and people’s eyes are being turned to North Adams.”
“If you’re a nature lover, this is truly the place for you. There’s so much beauty in this area, whether it’s the mountains, or the hiking trails, or the lakes…”
“Here at MCLA, especially where this smaller institution is very much woven into the fabric of the Berkshires and Western Mass itself. You feel like, ironically, even though you’re part of a much smaller institution, you feel like you’re a part of a much bigger community.”

Tucked in the heart of the Berkshire Mountains, North Adams is a small city with big personality—where creative energy meets small-town charm. Just a few hours from Boston and New York, it’s home to MASS MoCA, local cafés, mountain trails, and a walkable downtown full of art, food, and community. The Berkshires (“the Birks”) are your year-round playground, offering hiking, biking, and paddleboarding in summer, skiing and snowboarding in winter, and over 100 world-class cultural attractions all around. At MCLA, it’s all right in your backyard!
