Vision

Art Of The Game, a two-year Public Art Project in Pittsfield, MA, celebrates the city’s rich, “first” baseball heritage, and launches a permanent “First Home Plate” memorial leading to an ongoing baseball cultural presence in Pittsfield.

Art Of The Game will:

• Celebrate the creativity of our region’s artists, citizens and schools with baseball-themed art and summer art shows and performances

• Transform Pittsfield’s downtown streets into a baseball-themed playground of sights and sounds

• Attract visitors from all walks of life to experience our downtown and our baseball heritage

• Create a vibrant celebration that unites our region’s cultural, business, educational and sports communities

Art Of The Game underscores Pittsfield’s “Garden of Eden” role in baseball dating from its 1791 Ordinance through the present. Art Of The Game recognizes that the cultural tourism industry is a key part of Pittsfield’s revitalization; that our youth are important participants in the creative vitality of our city and region; and that the mix of our rich baseball heritage and our large artist community is a creative, economic catalyst for growth.
