CLARK ART INSTITUTE PRESENTS
LOVE-THEMED ART TOUR

Williamstown, Massachusetts—The Clark Art Institute presents a special In Focus tour titled “What’s Love Got To Do With It?” on Sunday, June 23 at 11:15 am. A Clark educator leads a thematic tour of the Institute’s permanent collection exploring the many iterations of love on view in the galleries—romantic, brotherly, devotional, desirous, playful, unrequited, and despairing. Together, the educator and participants visualize aspects of love depicted in paintings and sculptures from the Renaissance through the twentieth century.

Free with gallery admission. Capacity is limited. Pick up a ticket at the Clark Center Admissions desk, available on a first-come, first-served basis. Meet in the Museum Pavilion.
