CLARK ART INSTITUTE CELEBRATES VALENTINE’S DAY WITH SPECIAL ACTIVITIES FOR ART LOVERS

Williamstown, Massachusetts—On Saturday, February 14, the Clark Art Institute offers special activities in celebration of Valentine’s Day.

Visitors are welcome to visit the galleries to find all the forms of love in the permanent collection—from tender brushstrokes to flirtatious figures. Head to the Museum Pavilion to write a note about the artwork that pulls at your heartstrings and share it on our “art lovers’ response wall,” where notes from others will also be on view. Then, at 1 pm, enjoy a love-inspired gallery tour of the Clark’s collection led by a Clark educator. The tour meets in the Museum Pavilion.

Free. Tour capacity is limited. Pick up a ticket at the Clark Center admissions desk, available on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information, visit events.clarkart.edu.
