08:00AM / Tuesday, November 26, 2024Print Story | Email Story

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Clark Art Institute First Sunday Free series continues on Sunday, Dec. 1 from 1 to 4 pm.

December's theme is "Lights, Camera, Landscape!"

According to a press release:

Contemporary artist Abelardo Morell engages with history, place, and nature in his colorful images, reflecting Claude Monet and John Constable's influence on him. Artists often draw inspiration from each other's work, and we do, too! Taking inspiration from the layers in Morell's works, experiment with creating transparent drawings that can overlap in surprising ways. Then, from the ground up, document place and perspective through a collaborative photo wall.

Be sure to pick up a gallery guide and explore the connections between Morell's photographs and Monet and Constable's paintings. Additionally, check out the special selection of photographs from the Clark's collection at the Print Room Pop-Up installation on view from 11 am–1 pm at the Manton Study Center for Works on Paper.

Free admission all day. Special activities in the Michael Conforti Pavilion from 1 to 4 pm.

Family programs are supported by Allen & Company.

St. Stan's Students Spread Holiday Cheer at Williamstown Commons

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Students from St. Stanislaus Kostka School in Adams brought the holiday spirit to Williamstown Commons on Thursday, delivering handmade Christmas cards and leading residents in a community caroling session.

"It honestly means the world to us because it means the world to them," said nursing home Administrator Alex Fox on Thursday morning. "This made their days. This could have even made their weeks. It could have made their Christmas, seeing the children and interacting with the community."

Teacher Kate Mendonca said this is the first year her class has visited the facility, noting that the initiative was driven entirely by the students.

"This came from the kids. They said they wanted to create something and give back," Mendonca said. "We want our students involved in the community instead of just reading from a religion book."

Preparation for the event began in early December, with students crafting bells to accompany their singing. The handmade cards were completed last week.

"It's important for them to know that it's not just about them during Christmas," Mendonca said. "It's about everyone, for sure. I hope that they know they really helped a lot of people today and hopefully it brought joy to the residents here."
