I think that the planning of this project and the substantial financial commitment is all well and good. But has anyone thought to consult with Walt Jennings and Stevie Champagne on this issue? This is a pretty large undertaking to consider without their expert, professional input.
As the saying goes, just do it! Either separate location, but not connected to the school building. Trust the long, hard work of the Youth Center planning committee and architect. Don't be bullied by a few very vocal neighbors.
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. —On Tuesday, Sept. 17 at 11 am, the Clark Art Institute presents Reflections, a monthly gallery experience during which visitors are invited to look contemplatively as they engage with works of art from the Clark's collection.
According to a press release:
With a gentle tone that encourages investigation and audience participation, the group explores one or two artworks with the help of a Clark educator, working together to explore its meaning, find understanding, and raise questions. Distinct from a conventional gallery tour, Reflections provides an opportunity for close looking and introspection.
Free with gallery admission. Advance registration required; capacity is limited. Meet in the Museum Pavilion. For more information and to register, visit clarkart.edu/events.
