WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Tuesday, Oct. 14 at 11:30 am, the Clark Art Institute presents Reflections, a monthly gallery experience during which visitors are invited to look contemplatively as they engage with works of art from the Clark's collection. Participants meet in the Museum Pavilion.
With a gentle tone that encourages investigation and audience participation, the group explores one or two artworks with the help of a Clark educator, working together to explore its meaning, find understanding, and raise questions. Distinct from a conventional gallery tour, Reflections provides an opportunity for close looking and introspection.
Free. Advance registration required; capacity is limited. For more information and to register, visit clarkart.edu/events.
