Help us kick off our inaugural season of The Mastheads and welcome our five residents with a reading and party at downtown Pittsfield's Hotel on North.

Architects & Mastheads founders Tessa Kelly and Chris Parkinson will give a talk about architecture and place. We'll also introduce the residents, who will each give a brief reading.

Finally, we'll release our first Pittsfield Reader, a short anthology of writing that was composed in or about Pittsfield by Hawthorne, Holmes, Longfellow, Melville, and Thoreau.
