It’s a cosmopolitan center in he smallest city in the state, with the open ridge lines of the mountains on all sides. Mass MoCA has always been known for contrasts that come together naturally. A horned motorcycle trailed the Fibbonacci sequence, metal floor tiles reflected colored light, and Robert Rauschenberg prints and collages filled a room as a long as football field. In the summer of 1999, the galleries opened for their first summer season. In their wake, a group of North Adams and Williamstown innovators started talking. North Adams was at a low point - Sprague Electric, the city’s major employer for generations, was closing down, and the town was losing jobs at other mills as well. Mass MoCA has always been an unpredictable creative space - the kind of place where a piano tuner tests the arcitecture for balance. If you’re local, pick up a museum pass at the libraryand come explore the whole place.
