The Manton Study Center for Works on Paper welcomes artists of all experience and skill levels to find inspiration in thematic selections from the Clark’s collection of works on paper. From charming remarques in the margins of prints to fabulously elaborate decorative borders, this month’s selection highlights artistic decisions to work “outside the box.” Enjoy an open session to participate in the tradition of copying earlier artworks or choose to practice fundamentals and explore ideas.

Basic materials are provided. Artists bringing their own supplies should note that only graphite pencils are allowed in the Study Center.

Free. Advance registration required. Capacity is limited. For accessibility questions, call 413 458 0524.
