This spring, the Clark Art Institute presents In Focus, a series of free thematic tours of its permanent collection with a Clark educator on select Sundays at 11:15 am.

03/25: In Focus – The Color Red: Romance, excitement, and power are just a few words that might come to mind when you think about the color red. Learn how artists throughout history have used color to evoke feeling, convey atmosphere, and tell stories.

04/27: In Focus – There’s No Place Like Home: Examine representations of home in the Clark’s permanent collection. From paintings of famous artists’ houses to scenes of domestic life, this tour explores how we define and understand home—is it based on a place, a feeling, the people we care about, or something else?

05/25: In Focus – The Unflinching Gaze – Explore a variety of portraits focusing on the subject’s gaze. Together, the group examines the image and identity of each subject, the artist’s skill in their rendering, and the complex emotions each portrait can evoke in their viewer.
