SUMMARY:Come as You Are: Pride After Party
DESCRIPTION:AFTER BERKSHIRE PRIDEFEST\, THE PARTY CONTINUES — JUST WANDER THIS WAY\nOn Saturday\, June 7\, after the Berkshire Pride Fest wraps at the Pittsfield Commons\, WANDER Berkshires invites you to keep the momentum going at Come As You Are: Pride Block Party + Vow In —a powerful\, joyful gathering of queer resistance\, visibility\, and celebration.\nFrom 4 to 10 PM\, the alley and interior of WANDER will transform into a vibrant\, affirming space where protest meets party. This is more than an afterparty—it’s an invitation to show up fully as yourself\, to dance\, to heal\, to take up space\, and to connect in community.\nIN THE ALLEYBeginning at 4 PM\, the alley comes alive with DJ Pup Daddy setting the tone for the evening with a joyful mix of queer anthems and protest beats. At 5 PM\, join us for a Community “Vow In + Commitment Ceremony” officiated by Bella Santarella—an open invitation for couples to be legally wed + say “I do” (BRING YOUR MARRIAGE LICENSE WITH YOU) or for those already married\, a chance to renew their love in a public ritual of resistance and belonging.\nLet’s make this the largest single wedding in Berkshire County! For those seeking a legal marriage\, please come to the ceremony with your marriage license in hand.\nFrom 7 to 10 PM\, DJ BFG takes over\, spinning a mix of beats that will move your body and lift your spirit as the night rolls on.Tito’s will be serving food and drinks in the alley and beer garden\, alongside FEWD\, a local food vendor offering delicious options to keep you nourished and energized throughout the night.\nINSIDE WANDERInside\, for those seeking a different kind of movement experience\, we will be hosting a Silent Disco Dance Party\, with multi-channel music genre options for every mood and movement.For those looking to express themselves in other ways\, there will be all-ages crafting stations to make\, decorate\, and express yourself however you choose. WANDER’s signature zero proof bar will be serving our handcrafted zero-proof cocktails and non-alcoholic wine and beer.\n\nFor those looking to affirm\, renew or celebrate their love\, the community vow and wedding ceremony is a beautiful opportunity to say “I do\,” (COME WITH YOUR MARRIAGE LICENSE READY).\nIn a time when marriage equality\, our right to exist is under threat\, this visible\, joyful act becomes both a declaration of love and a powerful form of protest.\n\nThis Pride\, we gather not just in celebration\, but in defiance. We dance not in spite of what’s happening in the world—but because joy\, visibility\, and chosen family are forms of resistance.

SUMMARY:WordxWord: INCLUSION
DESCRIPTION:Over the course of 3 months\, WordXWord has asked poets of any ilk to apply their creative energy to three fraught words – diversity\, equity\, and (now) inclusion. \nAs we wrap up this series with INCLUSION\, we recognize that it is difficult to pull these 3 words completely apart as they lean on each other for support. In addition\, it seems unnecessary/counter productive to put a wall around inclusion. For this final event in the series anything even tangentially related to any or all things DEI is welcome. This is as close to an open mic as you’re likely to see from us.

SUMMARY:Christa Joy and The Honeybees
DESCRIPTION:Christa Joy is the band leader of the Western Mass based\, “Christa Joy and the Honeybees.” Americana with a classic country flair\, the group includes Lisa Marie Ellingsen (lead guitar)\, Tim Bowles (pedal steel)\, Jason Smith (drums) and Tom LeBeau (bass). The songwriter’s fourth full length collection was released in August 2024 at CitySpace in Easthampton\, MA. The self-titled project\, Christa Joy and the Honeybees\, paints a versatile picture of the group’s talents—ranging from kitschy humorous gems like “God Gave Me Two Babies” and “Omens\,” to emotional ballads like “Time and Luck” and the sparser indie flavor of “Again and Again.” Also included on the project\, Producer Grant Wicks arranged a countrified cover of Pixies “Here Comes Your Man\,” a shout out to local hero Black Francis. Christa Joy is expected to release a solo EP of songs written during the early months of the pandemic in early 2025.

SUMMARY:Layered Trace Monotype Printmaking
DESCRIPTION:Trace monotype is a fun\, direct method of printing that does not require much (if any) specialized equipment. In this workshop we’ll explore several approaches to trace monotype\, discuss ink modification\, and explore mark making. As much as it is a printing technique\, this is also a fantastic exercise in being mindful and present – as it all comes down to pressure and hand. Participants are encouraged to bring their own reference imagery for tracing\, a couple copies if possible. Note: the reference image must be initially reversed if you don’t want your final print to come out backwards. \nInstructor: Ian Prishwalko\nDay & Time: Saturday\, 10:00am-12:30pm\nDates: June 14\, 2025\nLocation: Brothership Building\, Pittsfield
