WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Clark Art Institute will offer free admission for all visitors from January through March 2024.

In its second year, the "Free for Three" program is part of the Institute's ongoing effort to expand awareness of its programming and to welcome new visitors.  

"We want everyone in our community to feel welcome at the Clark and hope that they will take advantage of our free admission months to explore our galleries, wander our grounds, and get to know the Clark better," said Olivier Meslay, Hardymon Director of the Clark. "By offering three months of free admission, our visitors will be able to discover our permanent collection, see three new exhibitions, and participate in a number of free events and programs offered between January through March.

In 2023, the Clark welcomed nearly 20,000 visitors during the three-month free admission period.

During the free admission season, visitors will have the opportunity to tour the Clark's permanent collection and to see three new exhibitions, "50 Years and Forward: British Prints and Drawings Acquisitions" (open through Feb.11, 2024), "50 Years and Forward: Works on Paper Acquisitions" (open through March 10, 2024) and "Paper Cities" (opens March 9, 2024). And, on Feb. 10, the Clark will open the latest presentation of contemporary art in its public spaces with an installation by David-Jeremiah. 

The Clark's grounds, which are always open free of charge, provide miles of walking trails. In winter months, the Clark's Project Snowshoe program offers visitors the opportunity to borrow free snowshoes to explore the beauty of the campus in winter. Snowshoes are available in adult and child sizes on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Clark also offers a array of more than sixty free public programs, concerts, and other activities. Details on January through March 2024 programming are available at clarkart.edu/events

Letter: Trial Shows Trump's Character

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:

The trial of Donald Trump in Manhattan might seem like a matter of legal technicalities, but I think it's really important in another way. It has shown us clearly the character of Trump and the Republican party he now dominates.

He denies that he had sex with Stormy Daniels, even when this obvious lie hurts his case and has little to do with the charges against him. He demands that others show their loyalty by repeating his lies, as Michael Cohen did for years. His ego is so brittle that he has an aide who prints out favorable stories about him to keep him occupied and calm while in court.

Meanwhile, a parade of Republican elected officials, keen to fluff their leader, have left their jobs in Washington to drop in and pronounce their disdain for the trial and the court.

In 2015, Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said, "If the Republicans nominate Trump for President he will destroy the Republican Party and we will have deserved it!" Although Graham has since joined the Trump sycophants, nine years ago he was prophetic.

The party has become a shameless cult engaged in undermining our constitutional principles. It will only begin to heal if it loses in November.
