WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Clark Art Institute will present a lecture by Laurie Norton Moffatt on Saturday, April 11, at 2 p.m. in the Manton Research Center auditorium. The event marks Moffatt's 40th year as Director and CEO of the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.

Moffatt's career at the Rockwell began as a 19-year-old part-time docent. She was named curator in 1981 and became director in 1986 at the age of 29. Under her leadership, the institution transitioned from a local museum into a center for American illustration art.

The museum's permanent collection has expanded during Moffatt's tenure to include approximately 1,000 original works by Norman Rockwell and 25,000 works by other illustrators. This growth accompanied a broader shift in the museum world's perception of illustration as a respected medium.

The lecture is free to the public, though advance registration is required. The venue includes accessible seating. For more information or to register, visit events.clarkart.edu or call 413-458-0570.

Reminder to Lanesborough, Williamstown Voters: Mount Greylock School Committee a 'Write-In' Election

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Politicians and pundits in recent years have been preaching patience when it comes to getting election night results.

That usually means places like California, where vote-counting can be complicated or Michigan, where razor thin margins are anticipated.

Add Williamstown and Lanesborough to that list.

It is not a matter of pre-election polling suggesting particularly tight races; there is no such polling. Rather, it is a question of how voters will be making their selections in the race for the Mount Greylock Regional School District Committee.

None of the six candidates who qualified for four seats up for grabs on the panel appear on the ballots that have been mailed out, used in early voting or will be distributed at the polls on Nov. 3.

That means that all votes will be cast as write-ins, and that means it will take significantly longer for election workers to tally up votes in the local election once the polls close at 8 p.m. at Lanesborough Town Hall and Williamstown Elementary School.

As always, voters in both towns vote for all four seats on the ballot: two seats for Lanesborough residents and two for Williamstown residents in this year’s balloting.
