Porches Inn at MASS MoCA Invites Guests to Art Country in the Berkshires

In the cultural hub of North Berkshire County, MA, Porches Inn at MASS MoCA has debuted a new Art Country package that offers art lovers access to four of the area's renowned institutions: The Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art's (MASS MoCA), the Clark Institute, the Williams College Museum of Art, and Bennington Museum.

The Inn's new ArtCountry package includes one ArtCountry Pass per adult per stay for complimentary admission to each museum, overnight accommodations, and buffet breakfast. Prices start at $270 per night based on double accommodations. The package is available for travel June 11 through September 24, 2017.

"With the location of Porches Inn literally across the street from MASS MoCA and the other museums just minutes away, our guests have a home base to experience it all." says Mel Karakaya, general manager of The Porches Inn.
MASS MoCA will kick off Art Country's summer season with the opening of its new addition, Building 6, on May 28. The new space will add 130,000 square feet to the museum's campus and feature work from artists like Robert Rauschenberg, Louise Bourgeois, James Turrell, Jenny Holzer, Laurie Anderson, and Gunnar Schonbeck (Bang on a Can). MASS MoCA will be the largest contemporary art museum in the country once the new addition is complete.

The Clark Art Institute will host "Picasso: Encounters" from June 4 - August 27, which explores Picasso's interest in and experimentation with large-scale printmaking. At the Williams College Museum of Art, Robert Rauschenberg's Autiobiography is on view through August 20, including x-ray imagery of his body. Across the border in Vermont (a 20-minute ride), the Bennington Museum combines the best of art and history from the surrounding region with changing exhibits along with a permanent collection of works by Grandma Moses.

Set in seven renovated Victorian-era buildings, The Porches Inn at MASS MoCA's guest rooms and public spaces employ a clever synthesis of retro and contemporary designs. The Inn features a year-round outdoor heated pool, WiFi, hot tub, sauna, bonfire pit, fitness room and meeting rooms for retreats and special events.
