April is an amazing month at the Clark as winter slowly gives way to spring! From snowflakes to sunshine, experience the seasonal shift by wandering our trails and looking for the eternally hopeful signs of spring. 

Discover something new in our permanent collection and explore our special exhibitions galleries, including Pastoral on Paper, open through June 15. Our year-long Public Spaces installation, Mariel Capanna: Giornata, presents two new, site-specific oil paintings as well as a monumental, three-sided fresco.

Explore our calendar of events for your next activity. There’s something for everyone at the Clark!

When you visit, please be aware that there is roadwork on South Street leading to the Clark's driveway. All traffic departing the Clark's campus is being rerouted. See details on the detour here.
