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

 

To celebrate Aboubaker Fofana's sculpture, "Bana Yiriw ni Shi Folow" (Trees and Seeds of Life), part of the outdoor sculpture exhibition Ground/work 2025, the March First Sunday Free theme is "Sprouting Seeds." 

 

Enjoy free museum admission from 10 am–5 pm and take part in free special activities from 1–4 pm.

 

The Clark will offer an activity card to take a closer look at the artist's artful trees of indigo-dyed cotton. At 2 pm, join a Clark educator for an all-ages tour of Fofana's sculpture that embraces art, nature, and mindfulness techniques. From 1–4 pm, drop in to decorate a flowerpot or create swirling, sprouting sculptures that you can add to a large-scale map of the Clark's campus as part of a collaborative mini-Ground/work. Enjoy a tea tasting from Wild Soul River inspired by Fofana's connection to the medicinal—and spiritual—nature of plants.

 

A special "Tree Portraits" print room pop-up, featuring prints, drawings, and photographs that spotlight trees, will be on view in the Manton Study Center for Works on Paper from 1–3 pm. 

 

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