CLARK ART INSTITUTE JOINS IN ARTWEEK BERKSHIRES
COUNTY-WIDE COLLABORATION
Williamstown, Massachusetts—The Clark Art Institute participates in ArtWeek Berkshires, an annual county-wide collaboration celebrating local creativity and artists. This year’s program takes place May 16 through 26.
ArtWeek Berkshires features more than 100 events each year and spotlights Berkshire County’s five state-designated Cultural Districts—the Downtown Great Barrington Cultural District, Lenox Cultural District, North Adams Cultural District, Upstreet Cultural District in Pittsfield, and Williamstown Cultural District. Funds pooled by the five cultural districts through grants from the Mass Cultural Council make this event possible.
At the Clark, discover something new in the permanent collection galleries or explore current special exhibitions, including Pastoral on Paper, Mariel Capanna: Giornata or A–Z: Alphabetic Highlights from the Library’s Special Collections. Details on these exhibitions are available at clarkart.edu/exhibitions.
