Last summer, Guido's Fresh Marketplace (located in Pittsfield and Great Barrington, MA) launched their Art Feeds Us campaign. Inspired to create a strategy that would help the arts at a time of uncertainty, this partnership worked with ten arts and cultural organizations across the county to promote membership and awareness. With a keen understanding of the way the arts contribute to a vibrant community, Guido's is bringing back their Art Feeds Us campaign, now with twelve partners.
