WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. —The Clark Art Institute presents the first solo museum exhibition in the United States of artist Giorgio Griffa (born in 1936 in Turin, Italy, where he lives and works).

"Giorgio Griffa: Paths in the Forest" is on view June 13 through October 12, 2026, in the galleries of the Lunder Center at Stone Hill. 

"It is a great honor to present Giorgio Griffa's first solo museum exhibition in the United States, coinciding with the energetic artist's ninetieth birthday. The Clark provides an especially fitting setting, where Griffa's deep historical references and engagement with the natural world resonate with both our collections and the surrounding landscape,” said Olivier Meslay, Hardymon Director of the Clark.

"Giorgio Griffa considers himself a classical painter yet his work and his thinking—especially in its ecological dimensions—is bracingly contemporary,” said exhibition curator Robert Wiesenberger, John and Barbara Vogelstein Senior Curator of Contemporary Art at the Brooklyn Museum, former curator of contemporary projects at the Clark.

Williamstown Fifth-, Sixth-Grade Boys Compete at State Championship

Community submission
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. -- The Williamstown Soccer Club’s boys grade 5/6 team, known as the Mayhem, capped its season at the Massachusetts Tournament of Champions in Lancaster, finishing pool play with a 1-1-1 record and coming within a single point of advancing to the championship round.
 
As winners of the Berkshire County MTOC League, the Mayhem earned the right to represent Berkshire County against the top youth teams from across the state at the SBLI Fields at Progin Park.
 
Williamstown opened pool play with a decisive 6-2 win over Wilmington before falling, 4-1, to Norwell. The weekend came down to the final - a hard-fought 2-2 draw with Leicester that ultimately sent Leicester through to the championship round, where Brookline went on to claim the state title.
 
“Representing Berkshire County at states was something this group earned, and they played like it,” Williamstown head coach Jeff Stripp said. “We came a single point from the championship round against very good competition, and I told the boys afterward that I couldn’t be prouder of the way they competed for one another and for Berkshire County. 
 
"These are good kids who work hard, take ownership, and don’t back down from a challenge - and that’s exactly what they showed all weekend.”
 
The Mayhem roster includes: Mason Stripp, Brady Dickinson, Jackson Draper, Sam Stratton, Solomon Israel, Boden Palmer, Gregory Phelan, Will Bayliss, Derek Weber, Sam King, Dylan Fitzgibbons, Jack Sosne, Logan Williams, Chase Ziemba, Colton Ziemba, Landon Maroney and Devon Washburn. Coaches: Jeff Stripp, Ryan Dickinson and Mark Draper.
