REGIONAL
highlights MCLA is located in the northwestern corner of Massachusetts. We’re part of the Berkshires, an area known for majestic mountain ranges, hiking trails, and natural splendor, as well as some of the nation’s most notable cultural landmarks. The College is a stone’s throw from MASS MoCA, the nation’s largest museum of contemporary art. The Clark Art Institute, Tanglewood, Jacob’s Pillow, and the Williamstown Theatre Festival are all easily accessible from campus.
When you come visit our campus, make sure to experience the other things that make the Berkshires special. The Berkshire Visitors Bureau, Explore North Adams, and Destination Williamstown will help you find out what’s going on while you’re here (and all three have lists of overnight accommodations).
