WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — There still is time to make suggestions about the details of the Mount Greylock Regional School building project.
 
There just is not much time.
 
The School Building Committee meets again on Thursday at the junior-senior high school and will continue to work on the finer points of design with its architectural team.
 
In order to inform that discussion and the conversations of the project's various "working groups," the committee has a survey going to solicit ideas from the community.
 
The committee encourages residents of Lanesborough and Williamstown to chime in with ideas about all areas of the addition/renovation project, including: "auditorium, gym/locker rooms/fitness, safety and security,  media center/library, stained glass reuse, flexible space/public spaces, colors/patterns/materials selection, hallway lockers, kitchen, cafeteria, classrooms, faculty work rooms, furniture, window treatments, lighting."
 
"Once the colors are selected, that's it," building committee co-Chairwoman Paula Consolini said at the last Mount Greylock School Committee meeting. "There will be key decisions that need to be made by July. … The work groups need the suggestions by May so they can discuss them and get them to the School Building Committee."
 
Consolini set Thursday, May 12, as the deadline to participate in the survey.
 
"Speak now or forever hold your peace," School Committee member Richard Cohen said.

Clark Art Presents Music At the Manton Concert

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Clark Art Institute kicks off its three-part Music at the Manton Concert series for the spring season with a performance by Myriam Gendron and P.G. Six on Friday, April 26 at 7 pm. 
 
The performance takes place in the Clark's auditorium, located in the Manton Research Center.
 
According to a press release:
 
Born in Canada, Myriam Gendron sings in both English and French. After her 2014 critically-acclaimed debut album Not So Deep as a Well, on which she put Dorothy Parker's poetry to music, Myriam Gendron returns with Ma délire – Songs of Love, Lost & Found. The bilingual double album is a modern exploration of North American folk tales and traditional melodies, harnessing the immortal spirit of traditional music.
 
P.G. Six, the stage name of Pat Gubler, opens for Myriam Gendron. A prominent figure in the Northeast folk music scene since the late 1990s, Gubler's latest record, Murmurs and Whispers, resonates with a compelling influence of UK psychedelic folk.
 
Tickets $10 ($8 members, $7 students, $5 children 15 and under). Accessible seats available; for information, call 413 458 0524. Advance registration encouraged. For more information and to register, visit clarkart.edu/events.
 
This performance is presented in collaboration with Belltower Records, North Adams, Massachusetts.
