Clark Art Juried Student Art Show and Reception
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Clark Art Institute, Living the Change Berkshires, and Cooler Communities present the student art show, How Shall We Live: Berkshire Youth Artists Explore Their Relationship with the Earth in the Time of Climate Change, on view at the Clark from April 18–26.
Following the closure of the show at the Clark, it will be on view at Pittsfield's City Hall from May 1 (aligning with the May First Fridays Artswalk) through June 8 and Sheffield's Dewey Hall from June 12–21. A free, public reception celebrating the opening of the show and the work of participating artists takes place on April 18 from 2:30–5 pm in the Hunter Studio at the Clark's Lunder Center.
For the fourth year, Berkshire County high school students were invited to participate in a juried installation of student art about climate change. Submissions could be individual or collaborative and 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional. Students were 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?
Four local artists/art educators were selected to serve on the jury for the show: Anne Legêne, Enaya A. Ogletree, Michelle Raszl, and Stephanie Trotto.
Advance registration for the April 18 public opening reception is encouraged. For accessibility questions, call 413 458 0570. For more information and to register, visit events.clarkart.edu.
This student art show is co-organized by the Clark, Living the Change Berkshires, and Cooler Communities, with financial support from the Feigenbaum Foundation, Lee Bank, and Greylock Federal Credit Union.
