Clark Art Family Artmaking Series

Print Story | Email Story

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On select Thursdays this July and August, the Clark Art Institute presents a free series of family artmaking programs inspired by the sculptures of Isamu Noguchi.

Check out the exhibition Isamu Noguchi: Landscapes of Time, and get inspired by Noguchi's floating lanterns, mini models, and sculptures of stone and steel. Drop by anytime between 1–4 pm to make your own light sculpture. Mix and match materials such as wire, reed, and rock to create a sculpture that can hold a little light. Bring home your "landscape of time" and see how your sculpture changes in different lighting.

This series takes place on July 24 and 31 and August 7, 14, 21, and 28, from 1–4 pm on the Fernández Terrace.

Free. Rain cancels this event. For more information, visit clarkart.edu/events.

Family programs are supported by Allen & Company.

Williamstown Government Presents Communication Plan

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Williamstown is working to improve communications with residents.
 
The town manager told the Select Board last week that the town obtained a Community Compact Best Practices grant from the state's Division of Local Services to fund a consultant from the University of Massachusetts at Boston's Collins Center for Public Management to develop a communications strategy.
 
Improved communications is a growing concern for small towns like Williamstown, Town Manager Robert Menicocci told the board.
 
"The world has changed with social media," Menicocci said. "The expectations of what a community communicates to its citizens — the game has been upped.
 
"I think this was a new area for government and many communities are looking at a need to staff up to address communications, where, in the past, maybe a big city would have a communications director. Now that has trickled down to almost all small communities."
 
To that end, the town has completely revamped its website and hired its first communications director — both steps that were included in the November 2025 Collins Center report, "Roadmap for Inclusive and Accessible Municipal Communications in Williamstown, Mass."
 
Brianna Sunryd, a public services manager at the Collins Center, presented her group's findings to the Select Board.
