WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass.—The Clark Art Institute presents a survey of the acclaimed Japanese-American artist Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988). 
 
According to a press release:
 
Isamu Noguchi: Landscapes of Time surveys Noguchi's perennial engagements with the concept of time, from his early design for a commercial kitchen timer to his late carvings of millennia-old stone. 
 
The exhibition is on view July 19 through October 13, 2025 in the Clark Center's Michael Conforti Pavilion.
 
The exhibition was developed in collaboration with the Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum, Long Island City, New York. The Noguchi Museum's Curator and Director of Research Matthew Kirsch and Curator Kate Wiener curated the exhibition and conceptualized the presentation at the Clark in partnership with Esther Bell, the Institute's Deputy Director and Robert and Martha Berman Lipp Chief Curator.
 
The exhibition features thirty-seven objects representing a wide array of Noguchi's sculptures in a variety of materials, all united through the concept of time's passage.

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.
