Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival in Becket will receive a $75,000 grant to support its dance programs. “The National Endowment for the Arts provides vital support for cultural institutions and the communities they serve,” MASS MoCA Director Kristy Edmunds said in a press release. “It allows us to foster the bold and dynamic visions of artists like EJ Hill, helping them create expansive new work that engages and challenges our visitors. We are grateful for the NEA’s continued recognition and support of MASS MoCA.” EJ Hill's Brake Run Helix will open at MASS MoCA in October. Read the full story in The Berkshire Eagle.
