WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Williams College Museum of Art (WCMA) invites the community to a forum to learn more about the new museum building project at 6 p.m. Monday, March 11.

 

The forum, which will be held in the Williams Inn Ballroom, will serve to share the new museum designs and project logistics with the Williams and regional community and provide a platform for their thoughts and feedback as important stakeholders in the process of building WCMA's new home.

 

The new Williams College Museum of Art is conceived to serve the college, the local community and visitors to the Berkshires. The new museum will be a space designed with students in mind, fostering a sense of belonging for campus members and the wider community, and an inclusive experience for all visitors. The building will offer substantial gallery space for showing more of the 15,000 works in the museum's collection, as well as facilities for easy access to collections for student, faculty, and visiting scholar requests, and more object study classrooms. 

 

The design will be completed by SO-IL, the fast-rising Brooklyn-based firm led by Florian Idenburg and Jing Liu.

 

RSVPs appreciated here or email the project team at wcma-pm@williams.edu.
