Welcome Center
"Jacob's Pillow has evolved into one of the world's foremost venues for high-caliber dance. Its calling card is not just quality, but diversity. Under the artistic directorship of Ella Baff, the festival has become international in scope."
- Karen Campbell, Boston Globe
The Pillow's Welcome Center is located at the heart of the 163-acre site.
Visitors can watch the Festival Overview DVD; use the Pillow
Interactive kiosk, which gives access to 78 years of Pillow dance history by the touch of a finger; and browse brochure racks with materials about all that the Berkshires have to offer. All Pillow-centered materials can be found here as well.
