You may begin with young poets curating an evening of spoken word — or with new short plays, or a rising comedian from New York — or with Brazilian jazz, bossa nova and blues. The sixth annual festival will return from Feb. 16 to Feb. 26, with more than 50 events in downtown Pittsfield.

Danza Organica, above, will lead a free workshop and perform at the Boys and Girls Club. Peggy Pharr Wilson, at left, appears in Barrington Stage Co’s New Plays Festival, and Susan Evans Grove’s photography, below, in 10 Spot.

The 10x10 Festival keeps growing. This year, Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival has joined in with a free workshop and performance by the Boston company Danza Orgánica. And the 10 Spot art exhibit at the Lichtenstein Center for the Arts and at the Sohn Gallery has drawn in photographers from New York to the West Coast.
