CLARK ART INSTITUTE FIRST SUNDAYS FREE PROGRAM ON NOVEMBER 6 OFFERS FREE ADMISSION AND SPECIAL ACTIVITIES

Williamstown, Massachusetts— The Clark Art Institute’s popular First Sundays Free program continues on Sunday, November 6, offering free admission to the galleries and special exhibitions from 10 am–5 pm, along with a series of special activities offered from 1–4 pm. November’s theme is “Harvest.” The harvest-themed special programs include art-making and other surprises in the Clark Center’s lower level and galleries. 

Visitors can take part in still life drawing, enjoy music and dancing, and follow a special gallery guide covering harvest-related works on view in the Clark’s permanent collection galleries, including those by John Constable, Jean-François Millet, Winslow Homer, Francisco de Goya, and Alfred Stevens. After touring the galleries, take in the full glory of autumn by wandering the Clark’s grounds on walking trails that traverse meadows and woodlands in a setting of profound natural beauty.

Family programs are generously supported by Allen & Company.
