WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Clark Art Institute will present "Reflections," a monthly gallery talk, on Tuesday, May 20, at 11 a.m.

Participants will meet in the Museum Pavilion to engage with works of art from the Clark's collection.

During the program, a Clark educator will guide the group in a contemplative exploration of one or two artworks, encouraging observation and participation to explore meaning and raise questions. This program offers an opportunity for close looking and introspection, differing from a conventional gallery tour.

The event is free, but advance registration is required due to limited capacity. Additional information and registration are available at clarkart.edu/events.

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

By Jack GuerinoiBerkshires Staff
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."
