The Clark is a dynamic institution welcoming visitors year-round to experience outstanding European and American art in a beautiful, rural setting. Surrounded by 140 acres of woodlands, meadows and hiking trails, the Clark’s intimately scaled galleries are home to an exceptional collection. Opened in 1955 by Singer sewing machine heir Robert Sterling Clark and his wife, Francine, the Clark is renowned for its French Impressionist paintings by Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro and especially Pierre-August Renoir, with more than 30 paintings by the artists. The collection is also rich in American paintings by Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, Frederic Remington and Mary Cassatt; Italian and Northern Renaissance masterpieces; portraits and landscapes by European master; and an extraordinary collection of silver, porcelain, and furniture. The Clark offers a lively variety of events and programs for all ages including concerts, films, family activities, gallery talks and after-hours events. Most public events, including family days and summer band concerts, are free of charge. Food is available year-round. Trails of varying lengths and difficulty cross the property and offer spectacular views of Williamstown and the Green Mountains of VT. Open Tuesday through Sunday, 10am-5pm. Admission is free from November 1 through May 31.
