LENOX, Mass. — Lenox Library Association will host a charity poker tournament on Saturday, April 20 from 7-10 p.m. in the Welles Gallery at the Lenox Library. 
 
This fundraising event will be hosted by Max Scherff, a Trustee of the Lenox Library Association, to offer community members and card players an opportunity to play poker while supporting a meaningful cause – the Lenox Library.
 
Poker Night at the library will be played in Texas Hold 'Em style. This tournament format forces raised antes throughout the night providing opportunities for top finishers to win significant prizes donated by area businesses. The "buy in" to this event is a $100 donation which goes towards library programs and materials. This admission fee will include light bites, mocktails, and cocktails, and is a tax-deductible donation to the Lenox Library Association which is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.  
 
"Thirty poker players can test their skills right here in Lenox. Without many local legal poker options, we are excited for some friendly competition at the poker table while players support the Lenox Library," said host, Max Scherff.
 
The event is limited to 30 people. Registration for the tournament is now open. To register, contact the Lenox Library Association Development Department at contact@lenoxlib.org or call 413.637.2630 x115. All players must pay in advance to reserve a seat.

Sculpture at The Mount

LENOX, Mass. — The Mount, Edith Wharton's Home,  announced that the annual outdoor sculpture exhibition produced in the Berkshires for the past twenty-five years officially opens on Sunday, June 2. 
 
Visitors can experience the exhibition for free every day of the week, from dawn until dusk, until October 20. Audio tours in Spanish and English are available, in addition to a printed map.
 
Showcasing the work of both emerging and established artists, Sculpture at The Mount is a platform for contemporary sculpture in Western MA and beyond, featuring a diverse range of sculptures in many sizes and media thoughtfully sited throughout The Mount's lush gardens and grounds.

"There is great synergy between Wharton's literary legacy and the compelling narratives expressed through contemporary sculpture," Susan Wissler, executive director of The Mount said. "The exhibition encourages visitors to explore the intersection of literature, sculpture, and nature."
 
The public is invited to a special Meet the Artists event on Sunday June 23, at 3PM, where the 24 artists will share their stories and visions next to their pieces. Artist-led tours will also be available monthly.
