The Beyond Place is a weekly newsletter featuring writings by Jenny Perlin, director of The Hoosac Institute. The Institute seeks to lift up the complexity of art in all its forms and that’s what this newsletter will do too.

Hoosac is a word from the Algonquian language that means the beyond place or the place of stones. The Hoosac river (also spelled Hoosic or Hoosick) runs through Western Massachusetts, where the Institute was founded in 1970.

I revived the Hoosac Institute in 2018 as a way of inviting interdisciplinary artists into conversation and community.

Thanks for reading.
