Explore Jacob's Pillow anytime, from anywhere.
Summer is an exciting time at Jacob’s Pillow. In 2021, the Pillow hosted its first-ever multi-platform festival, taking place both in person and online. This summer we hosted intimate, distanced ticketed performances on our outdoor stage as well as workshops, PillowTalks, and site-specific events where audiences can interact with our campus in new and exciting ways.
But there is plenty to discover year-round. Scroll down to explore virtual commissions, recent short films of in-process work at our onsite artist residencies, archival clips, essays, and games on Jacob’s Pillow Dance Interactive, and more.
