WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — This spring, the Clark Art Institute presents "In Focus," a series of free thematic tours of its permanent collection with a Clark educator on select Sundays at 11:15 am.
 
March 23: In Focus: The Color Red
Romance, excitement, and power are just a few words that might come to mind when you think about the color red. Learn how artists throughout history have used color to evoke feeling, convey atmosphere, and tell stories.
 
April 27: In Focus: "There’s No Place Like Home"
Examine representations of home in the Clark's permanent collection. From paintings of famous artists' houses to scenes of domestic life, this tour explores how we define and understand home—is it based on a place, a feeling, the people we care about, or something else?
 
May 25: In Focus: The Unflinching Gaze
Explore a variety of portraits focusing on the subject's gaze. Together, the group examines the image and identity of each subject, the artist's skill in their rendering, and the complex emotions each portrait can evoke in their viewer.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — A Weston man is facing charges related to a camera found with pictures and video in a restroom on the Williams College campus. 
 
Maxwell Hall, 21, was charged on March 20 with 18 counts of photographing, videotaping, or electronically surveilling a partially nude or nude person.
