WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Saturday, Aug. 9, at 11 am, the Clark Art Institute celebrates the opening of its newest exhibition "Isamu Noguchi: Landscapes of Time" with a free lecture.

The Isamu Noguchi Museum Foundation and Garden Museum's Matthew Kirsch, curator and director of research, and Kate Wiener, curator, introduce the exhibition. The lecture takes place in the Clark's auditorium, located in the Manton Research Center.

According to a press release:

Isamu Noguchi: Landscapes of Time explores Noguchi's fluid relationship with time—his ability to move between past, present, and future in his art. Through sculpture, design, and public works, Noguchi engaged with geologic time, material life cycles, and memory. Kirsch and Wiener provide insight into how Noguchi's non-linear approach shaped his work, from ancient influences to futuristic visions, offering a deeper understanding of his search for belonging beyond temporal constraints.

Free. Accessible seats available; for information call 413 458 0524.

"Isamu Noguchi: Landscapes of Time" is co-organized by the Clark Art Institute and The Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum, and curated by the Museum's Curator and Director of Research Matthew Kirsch and Curator Kate Wiener.

Support for this exhibition is provided by Cynthia and Ron Beck.

Mount Greylock Schools Bracing for Another Big Health Insurance Hit

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Like municipal entities across the county, the Mount Greylock Regional School District is bracing for another year of steep increases in health insurance costs.

It is unknown just how steep, but Superintendent Joseph Bergeron tried to prepare the School Committee at its January meeting on Thursday.

"The rumors, just so you hear them from me … are not confirmed, but right now, the projections are we might be close to a 20 percent increase in what's proposed in order to have premiums cover cost," Bergeron said.

"We're going to see where that goes. That's not at all confirmed. But, if true, a 20 percent increase, if that needs to go all to the appropriated budget, that by itself would be a 3.6 percent increase in our assessments."

Those are the assessments the district makes to member towns Lanesborough and Williamstown that voters each see in the form of, effectively, a bill that gets approved each spring at the annual town meeting.

For the current fiscal year, FY26, the district sent the towns assessments that were up from FY25 by 6.45 percent in Lanesborough and 7.59 percent in Williamstown.

Those hikes largely were driven by the 16 percent health insurance hike sought by the Berkshire Health Group to cover the cost of municipal employees covered by the joint purchase group.
