Clark Art Offers April School Vacation Week Activities
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass.—The Clark Art Institute offers activities celebrating art, nature, and student creativity during the Massachusetts public school system's April vacation week.
From Tuesday, April 21 through Friday, April 24, children are welcome to explore the outdoor sculpture exhibition Ground/work 2025 while using our free Ground/work 2025 activity packs—launching this week. Admission to the Clark is always free for children under 18.
Ground/work 2025 activity packs feature six different artwork-specific cards that invite visitors of all ages to look, draw, write, move, and imagine. While out on the trails, stop by the Lunder Center's Hunter Studio to see the inspiring student art show How Shall We Live: Berkshire Youth Artists Explore Their Relationship with the Earth in the Time of Climate Change (on view from April 18–25, 12–5 pm).
On Wednesday, April 22, make art with natural materials in a special indigo dyeing workshop led by artist and Williams College professor, Junli Song. Learn to dye a silk scarf (that's yours to keep!) with shibori indigo dyeing techniques (recommended for ages 8+. A guardian must accompany children aged 12 and under).
Additionally, Looking Carefully cards and drawing pads are available year-round at the Clark Center admissions desk and are a great way to enjoy the galleries.
The indigo dyeing workshop requires a $10 registration fee, and capacity is limited. Email education@clarkart.edu if the fee is a barrier to your participation. For more details and to register, visit events.clarkart.edu.
Family programs are supported by Allen & Company.
