WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass.—The Clark Art Institute presents a survey of the acclaimed Japanese-American artist Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988). 
 
According to a press release:
 
Isamu Noguchi: Landscapes of Time surveys Noguchi's perennial engagements with the concept of time, from his early design for a commercial kitchen timer to his late carvings of millennia-old stone. 
 
The exhibition is on view July 19 through October 13, 2025 in the Clark Center's Michael Conforti Pavilion.
 
The exhibition was developed in collaboration with the Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum, Long Island City, New York. The Noguchi Museum's Curator and Director of Research Matthew Kirsch and Curator Kate Wiener curated the exhibition and conceptualized the presentation at the Clark in partnership with Esther Bell, the Institute's Deputy Director and Robert and Martha Berman Lipp Chief Curator.
 
The exhibition features thirty-seven objects representing a wide array of Noguchi's sculptures in a variety of materials, all united through the concept of time's passage.

Williamstown Finance Committee Finalizes Fiscal Year 2027 Budget Proposal

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The tax bill of a median-priced single family home will go up by 8.45 percent in the year that begins July 1 under a spending plan approved by the Finance Committee on Wednesday night.
 
After more than a month of going through all proposed spending by the town and public schools and searching for places to trim the budget and adjust revenue estimates, the Fin Comm voted to send a series of fiscal articles to the May 19 annual town meeting for approval.
 
The panel also discussed how to appeal to town meeting members to reverse what Fin Comm members long have described as an anti-growth sentiment in town that keeps the tax base from expanding.
 
New growth in the tax base is generated by new construction or improvements to property that raise its value. A lack of new growth (the town projects 15 percent less revenue from new growth in fiscal year 2027 than it had in FY26) means that increased spending falls more heavily on current taxpayers.
 
The two largest spending articles on the draft warrant for the May meeting are the appropriations for general government spending and the assessment from the Mount Greylock Regional School District.
 
The former, which includes the Department of Public Works, the Williamstown Police and town hall staffing, is up by just 2.5 percent from the current fiscal year to FY27 — from $10.6 million to $10.9 million.
 
The latter, which pays for Williamstown Elementary School and the town's share of the middle-high school, is up 13.7 percent, from $14.8 million to $16.8 million.
