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.

No Contested Town Races Shaping Up in Williamstown

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — With two weeks left to gather signatures on nomination papers, there are no contested elections shaping up for the May 12 town election.
 
And there is one post for which no one has expressed an interest in serving.
 
Two current members of the Select Board have pulled nomination papers to run for seats on the body, the town clerk reported on Tuesday morning.
 
Stephanie Boyd, who is concluding her first three-year term on the five-person body, has taken out nomination papers.
 
Shana Dixon, who was elected last May to fill the final year of an unexpired term, is running for a full three-year term.
 
The board currently has four members after it chose not to appoint a replacement for Jeffrey Johnson last year. The final year of his unexpired term will be determined by voters this spring. So far, the only resident to pull papers for that post is Nate Budington, who serves on the Historical Commission and is that body's representative on the Community Preservation Committee.
 
None of the three potential candidates for the Select Board have returned papers with the required 30 signatures to get a spot on the May ballot.
