WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Pine Cobble School will hold its annual Ski and Skate Sale on Friday, November 3, from 4 to 8 pm.
 
One of the largest such sales in the region, this longtime tradition offers an array of quality, top-brand new and gently used winter sports equipment, ski clothing, and accessories for adults and children. Skis (racing & parabolic with current bindings), poles, boots, snowboards, snowshoes, cross-country skiing equipment, hockey & figure skates, ski clothing, fleece, hats, gloves, parkas, pants, goggles, winter socks, liners, and more will be available.
 
Expert skiers, snowboarders, and skaters will be on hand for professional fittings and to answer all technical & sizing questions. Pine Cobble community members can help carry gear to cars.
 
This year, the Ski and Skate Sale is reviving its cafe with dinner options, refreshments, and a bake sale. The event also includes a raffle with ski passes from Jiminy Peak, tubing vouchers from Berkshire East, and gift certificates to area restaurants and businesses.
 
The school accepts gently used winter sports equipment on consignment for the sale from those wishing to upgrade or downsize their winter sports gear. Consignments  (60 percent to consignor/40 percent to the school) may be dropped off at Pine Cobble School from 3 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, November 1, and Thursday, November 2. All skis must be parabolic/shaped and must have a current binding.
 
The Ski and Skate Sale was founded more than 60 years ago by Polly Dickerson to fund the school's library, which she ran. It was revived in 2022 after a hiatus during the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, all proceeds support the Pine Cobble Parent Teacher Group, which funds educational and extracurricular programs and community events for the school. As an independent school, Pine Cobble School receives no state or federal funding.
 
Pine Cobble School is at 163 Gale Road in Williamstown, just off Route 43 from the east or half a mile past the Clark Art Institute. For more information, call: 413-458-4680.

Clark Art Lecture Commemorating Tadao Ando-Designed Clark Center

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Saturday, July 27 at 2 pm, the Clark Art Institute hosts a talk by Michael Conforti, former director of the Clark (1994–2015), honoring the ten-year anniversary of the opening of the Clark Center, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Tadao Ando. 
 
The event takes place in the Clark's auditorium, located in the Manton Research Center.
 
In this presentation, Conforti reviews the purpose and process of the Clark's transformative campus expansion project. Reflecting on his working relationship with Ando, Conforti discusses the Clark's initial master planning, the decision to hire Ando, the years of work that resulted in the 2008 completion of the Lunder Center at Stone Hill, and the opening of the Clark Center in 2014. Conforti, who edited the recent book Ando and Le Corbusier, will share many of the fascinating behind-the-scenes stories of the Clark project.
 
Free. Accessible seats available; for information, call 413 458 0524.
