Print Story | Email Story
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Williams College Museum of Art will celebrate Pallavi Sen: Colour Theory, an immersive installation of new work by interdisciplinary artist and Williams College assistant professor of art Pallavi Sen, with two programs this weekend.
 
Through partnerships with writers, students, and other artists, the exhibition reflects the key tenets of Sen's practice, namely teaching, collaborative making, and the nurturing of life. Co-curated by Nicholas Liou, former Mellon Curatorial Fellow at WCMA, and Roz Crews, Associate Curator of Programs, the exhibition runs through Dec. 22.
 
On Friday, Oct. 25, from 6 to 7 p.m., join the artist and curators for a conversation about the exhibition. The following day, on Saturday, Oct. 26, Crews and Liou will lead a tour of the exhibition at 11 a.m. as part of the Curatorial Close Looks series.
 
WCMA programs are free and open to the public.

Williamstown Fire Committee Sees FY27 Budget with Sizable Operational Increase

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff

The Prudential Committee held its first meeting in the new station in late March with Treasurer Billie Jo Sawyer, left and committee members Lindsay Neathawk, David Moresi and Craig Pedercini.
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Prudential Committee last week reviewed a draft annual fire district meeting warrant that includes an operational expenses budget up 9.4 percent from the figures approved at the May 2025 annual meeting.
 
And, with a new line item added to the district's operational budget the total increase is closer to 24 percent.
 
Last May, meeting members — the meeting is open to all registered voters in town — approved an FY26 spending plan that totaled $686,991.
 
On July 1, the first day of the fiscal year, a special district meeting voted to allocate $40,000 from the district's stabilization fund to the operating budget, effectively raising the baseline to $726,991, a 34 percent increase, year over year, from FY25 to FY26.
 
The July 1 meeting moved $20,000 of stabilization funds to the firefighter pay line and $20,000 to the maintenance and operation line — nearly doubling the former and raising the latter by 75 percent from FY25 to FY26.
 
Both those lines are up again in the planned FY27 budget, but more modestly: 2 percent for M&O (up from $123,000 to $125,500) and 27 percent for firefighter payroll ($110,000 to $139,900).
 
Most of the other line items net out to no significant change; some are up a little, some are down a little.
