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

Driver Fell Asleep Before Running Into Williamstown Porch

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — A Vermont woman was asleep at the wheel prior to crashing into a Simonds Road residence last week, according to a Williamstown Police Department report.
 
Nicole L. Bishop, 32, of Route 9 in Bennington, Vt., Wednesday afternoon was traveling north on Simonds Road (U.S. Route 7) when, "the operator fell asleep, crossed the marked double line, through [two] yards, and into the front porch of 1033 Simonds Road," according to a report written by Officer Brad Sacco.
 
The 2003 Toyota that Bishop was driving belonged to Angela Mattison Barr of Bennington, police said.
 
The car left the road just north of the turnoff for the Steinerfilm property and crossed through the front yards of two other properties before crashing into the front porch at 1033 Simonds Road, Sacco wrote.
 
Neither Bishop nor a passenger in the car, Dennis Young, 53, of Bennington, was transported from the scene by ambulance, according to a representative of Northern Berkshire EMS, which responded to the incident.
 
Likewise, no one living at the residence was reported to be injured.
 
According to the town's tax records, the home is owned by Jean M. Beliveau and Thomas E. Rand.
