Prepare to be inspired and uplifted with this art and spoken word show, led by a dynamic collective of local artists. The Creative Coven is a grassroots female and BIPOC centered creative workshop led by local women. The Coven is devoted to nurturing artistic impulses and birthing art into the world. They are a diverse collective of writers, growers, makers, plant based dyers, film makers, poets, storytellers and researchers. For the past two years the Creative Coven has been gathering in intimate settings across The Berkshires, and these gatherings are now culminating in this pop-up display of collective magic.
Event Highlights:
Art Exhibition: Artists such as Mona Jain, Daisy Noyes, Jenny Tsai, Sunder Ashni,
Angela Highsmith and Saadia Shaza will exhibit their respective photographs, sculptures, and mixed media pieces that reflect themes of identity, resilience, rage and empowerment.
Spoken Word Performances: Experience moving and thought-provoking spoken word and poetry performances from storytellers such as EVEN Christine Gardiner, Jessica Collins, Thea Anderson and Heather Fisch Kau’fi
Interactive Discussions: Engage with the artists after the exhibition and performances through informal discussions and Q&A - an opportunity for deeper insight into their creative processes and the themes.
Creative Coven: Pop-up Gallery and Spectacle of Collective Works is more than just an art show—it's a celebration of the rich tapestry of experiences and narratives that make each one of us creators in our own right. You are invited to take in their creations in nonjudgement, and leave room for play and curiosity.

Race Brook Lodge is a hidden gem in The Berkshires, at the foot of Mt. Race and a short hike from the Appalachian trail. The yoga & event barn at Race Brook is simultaneously rustic and sublime, steeped in hundreds of years of New England history. The Stagecoach Tavern is unpretentious fine dining, exquisite farm-to-table cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere. Much of the food is sourced from Race Farm, right on the property!
