“I just spent about an hour browsing through your Berkshire Review and am staggered at its breadth and depth. I found so many pieces I wanted to read. What a wonderful resource.”
Karen Halvorsen, Photographer.
“Your review made me start thinking about what it would be like if articles (such as in the NY Times) didn’t have to be less than 300 words, and could be more than just book reports. It was overwhelmingly positive to actually have the possibility to be enriched by journalism. What an intellectual and cultural life we would have if we could have this in all disciplines, including politics!”
Michel Galante, Conductor
Our publications continue to be widely acclaimed by leaders in the arts and our readers. Artists in all disciplines have expressed their gratitude for our reviews, articles, and interviews, and so have our readers, in a most gratifying way. We are constantly reminded of the value of our mission to promote the arts and educate audiences around the world.
From this response it isn’t hard for us to keep on at our work—which we give to you, our readers, without charge, gratis. And we work without pay, as volunteers.
But writing is a profession, and writers—and editors—deserve compensation for their work. And our daily operations incur expenses at every turn: Internet service, phone lines, hardware, software, transportation, and many other things. We cannot continue without your financial support.
We also present exhibitions, concerts, readings, and discussions in multidisciplinary context which draw inspiration from the interests of our publications. Hall rental, artists’ fees, publicity are very expensive! Ticket sales only begin to cover our costs. We cannot plan our next season without your financial support.
We want to grow, and we need administrative staff and fundraising professionals to accomplish that—to provide more coverage in more places, and to hire new talent.

Please give generously, so that we may continue to publish the high-quality criticism the arts deserve and to offer our new program of exhibitions, performances, lectures, and symposia.
