Life is ever changing and eternal.” corby has exhibited in Boston, New York, and other places but she considers herself a true Berkshire artist, having shown throughout the Berkshires for many years. the Good Purpose Gallery and Spectrum Playhouse are professional venues that exist to offer students with learning differences real-life training, experience, and integration with the community.
