Clark Art Announces Call for Art From Berkshire County High School Students
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. —The Clark Art Institute, Living the Change Berkshires, and Cooler Communities invite Berkshire County high school students to participate in a juried installation of student art about climate change.
Submissions are due March 6, 2026.
The exhibition, "How Shall We Live: Berkshire Youth Artists Explore Their Relationship with the Earth in the Time of Climate Change," is on view April 18–25 at the Clark. In its fourth year, the initiative encourages local youth to pair art with the environment as they consider ways to appreciate and protect the natural world. Following the closure of the show at the Clark, it will be on view at Pittsfield's City Hall and Sheffield's Dewey Hall from late April through June.
Submissions can be 2-D or 3-D but must express students' ideas on climate change and inspire others to care for the environment. Both individual and collaborative submissions are accepted. Students are asked to respond to one or more elements in the following prompt:
In the age of climate change,
- What does nature provide?
- What are the earth's needs?
- What matters most?
- What is resilience?
- Where do you find guidance and inspiration?
For further submission information, visit clarkart.edu/education or call 413 458 0429.
The Clark hosts a free, public reception to celebrate the opening of the show and the work of participating student artists on April 18 from 2:30–5 pm in the Lunder Center's Hunter Studio. Advance registration is encouraged. Register at events.clarkart.edu.
This student art show is co-organized by the Clark, Living the Change Berkshires, and Cooler Communities.
