Local Ceramic Artists Rally for Public Broadcasting

with "Pots for Public Broadcasting" Pop-Up Sale

GREAT BARRINGTON, MA – In response to recent Congressional cuts to public broadcasting funding, local ceramic

artists are taking matters into their own hands with "Pots for Public Broadcasting," a special pop-up pottery sale

happening Saturday, August 16, as part of Berkshire Busk in Great Barrington.

The event, running from 6:30-9:00 PM, will feature handcrafted ceramics from talented local artists including Anne

Ferril, Julie Buyon, Donna Bernstein, Harry Levenstein, Sharon Pollack-Deluzio and Ingrid Raab. All proceeds from

sales will go directly to support local NPR and PBS stations.

"Hands off my PBS you crackpots!" say the participating artists, who are passionate about preserving access to

quality public broadcasting in the Berkshires and beyond.

The pottery sale coincides with Berkshire Busk, Great Barrington's beloved summer-long festival featuring live

performances and community events every Friday and Saturday evening from 6:30-9:00 PM.

Pottery lovers and public broadcasting supporters are invited to browse unique, locally made ceramics while

supporting a vital community resource. This is a rare opportunity to own beautiful, handcrafted pieces while making a

meaningful contribution to public media.
