The Northampton Community Arts Trust mourns the recent loss of state Rep. Peter Kocot.
Peter was a great friend of Northampton, and his appreciation for and belief in the arts as a vital force in our community was reflected in his tremendous support for our 33 Hawley Street project. We will long remember him and be ever grateful for his help.
What art, what creativity arises from the Hawley project will honor his memory.
