As you know, success of this event is critical to the health of our art school as it raises almost 1/3 of the contributed income IS183 needs to operate our outreach, after-school and scholarship programs.

Tickets are still available and can be purchased by calling IS183 (413.298.5252 x100), online (www.is183.org) or night of at the door of East Coast Refinishing (4 Industrial Avenue, Pittsfield).

$50 for a dance ticket may feel steep but with chocolates by Chocolate Springs, hors d’oeuvres by Kate Baldwin Caterer and drinks sponsored by Berkshire Mountain Distillers, Domaney’s Discount Liquors and Pittsfield Brewworks the best dance party of the year is not only a worthy cause but definitely WORTH it!

Art is necessary. So is supporting it.

People are coming out the wood work for this one…

Less than three days to go!!! Hopefully you have already made your RAD BOD silent auction shopping list,  you are putting the finishing touches on your day-glo bodysuit and matching helmet…but make-up! What about make-up!?

Hanger has volunteered her services at a special RAD BOD price! Give her a ring, have her come to your pre-party dinner and or home and bring the RAD BOD Hotness.

Wait for it, wait for it……RAD BOD INSPIRATION!!!

From RuralIntelligence.com: Art! Beer! Wings! The Radioactive Bodega Preview Party

“It was, appropriately, an evening of cultural dissonance.  Supporters of IS 183 Art School of the Berkshires… gathered at the boozy Brick House Pub in Housatonic, MA,  to preview some of the fine art that will be part of the silent auction at the school’s annual masquerade fundraiser on March 6.  The festive dance party’s counterintuitive theme—“Radioactive Bodega”— inspired the organizers to show fine art in an improbable frat house setting….” Click here to read more and view pics!
