Print Story | Email Story
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Sunday, March 3 from 11 am–4 pm, the Clark Art Institute lifts the curtain on a day of art, creativity, and fun.
 
Transform a box into a miniature theater using special images from the Clark's collection. Express yourself with comedy/tragedy mask-making. Then watch as director, writer, and educator Rudy Ramirez stages an original theatrical performance. Head into the galleries to uncover the drama of Clark artworks with a gallery guide on world-famous nineteenth-century actress Sarah Bernhardt.
 
The Clark's Manton Study Center for Works on Paper hosts a special pop-up installation of theater-inspired prints and drawings that set the stage for the day's events by showing views of theaters, from interior lobbies to exterior architecture, from Paris to New York. The pop-up exhibition is free and on view from 11 am to 1 pm on March 3.
 
Free. Special activities in the Conforti Pavilion, Museum Pavilion, Manton Study Center for Works on Paper, and auditorium from 1–4 pm.
 
Family programs are supported by Allen & Company.
