Clark Art: Art in Conversation

Print Story | Email Story

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass.—This summer, the Clark Art Institute presents a free series of interactive Friday discussions, Art in Conversation.

A Clark educator leads an interactive exploration of what makes a sculpture a sculpture, examining the artwork of sculptor Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988) in dialogue with more traditional sculpture from the Clark's permanent collection. Discussions take place at 1 pm on July 25 and August 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29, and are free with gallery admission.

Capacity is limited. Pick up a ticket at the Clark Center admissions desk, available on a first-come, first-served basis. Meet in the Museum Pavilion. For more information, visit clarkart.edu/events.

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.
