WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Clark Art Institute continues its First Sunday Free series on Sunday, Feb 1.

To celebrate Milena Naef's sculpture, Three Times Spanning, part of the outdoor sculpture exhibition Ground/work 2025, the February First Sunday Free's theme is "Bending Bodies." Enjoy free museum admission from 10 am–5 pm and take part in free special activities from 1–4 pm.

Naef's monumental work of marble, Three Times Spanning, on view atop Stone Hill in the outdoor sculpture exhibition Ground/work 2025, includes a precise indentation of her own body. From 1–4 pm, create giant tracings of your body or make a mini sculpture inspired by Naef's work. At 1 pm or 2 pm, join educator and dancer Molly Hess for an all-ages movement workshop exploring shape, space, and sculpture. Then, head into the galleries at 3 pm for a guided tour comparing Naef's sculpture to marble sculptures featuring the human figure in the Clark's permanent collection.

A special Print Room Pop-Up featuring prints, drawings, and photographs related to the theme will be on view in the Manton Study Center for Works on Paper from 1–3 pm.

Each First Sunday Free, visitors are welcome to make a mini sculpture inspired by one of the six sculptures in the exhibition and add it to the Clark's growing Ground/work 2025-inspired mural.

Admission and activities are free. For accessibility questions, call 413 458 0524. For more information, visit events.clarkart.edu.

Family programs are supported by Allen & Company.

Williamstown, Five Other County Towns Receive Seasonal Community Grants

Staff Reports11:14AM / Wednesday, October 21, 2026

BOSTON, Mass. — Five months after Williamstown's town meeting opted into the commonwealth's Seasonal Communities program, the town has received its first grant from the state under the program.

Gov. Maura Healey Tuesday announced nearly $2 million in Seasonal Community Grants to help all 24 municipalities in the program statewide.

The funding helps communities advance housing projects with the potential to support 594 year-round homes, including affordable housing developments, infrastructure improvements and planning efforts that will help unlock future housing opportunities.

"From the Berkshires to Cape Cod and the Islands, our seasonal communities are an important part of what makes Massachusetts special," Healey in a news release. "But we know these communities face unique challenges, especially when it comes to housing for the people who live and work there year-round. That's why we created the Seasonal Communities designation and are backing it up with funding to help local leaders build more homes, support their workforce and keep their communities strong for generations to come."

That list of awardees includes six Berkshire County towns:

• Egremont — $60,687 to support septic and well construction for Phase II of Town Hall Housing, adding affordable housing units (20 units).

• Great Barrington — $84,731 to conduct a housing needs study, develop a Housing Production Plan and support the design and engineering of roadway and streetscape improvements near Reed Street and Main Street.
