Opening Reception – How Shall We Live? Berkshire Youth Artists Explore Their Relationship with the Earth in the Time of Climate Change

April 18 @ 2:30 pm - 5:00 pm

This exhibition is part of the How Shall We Live? Climate Art Show, a Berkshire-wide program organized by Living the Change — Berkshires that invites students to explore climate change through art and reflection.

In this show, Berkshire County high school students explore their relationship with the Earth through visual art and reflection. Responding to questions such as:

• What does nature provide?         
• What matters most?
• What are the earth’s needs?
• What is resilience?
• Where do you find guidance and inspiration?

Students created artworks expressing their thoughts, emotions, fears, and hope.

Along with the artwork, students also prepared short artist statements, many of which are powerful and deeply moving. Together, the artworks and writings offer a window into how young people are experiencing this moment in time—revealing both the uncertainty they face and their resilience, creativity, and care for the natural world.

Attend the opening reception to celebrate these remarkable young artists and the conversations their work inspires.

This event is organized in collaboration with The Clark Art Institute, Living the Change Berkshires, and Cooler Communities. The show will travel to Pittsfield City Hall (including a festive opening during First Friday Art Walk in May) and Dewey Hall in Sheffield from June 12 through June 20.

This show is made possible through generous support from the Feigenbaum Foundation, Lee Bank, and Greylock Federal Credit Union.

DATE: Saturday, April 18
TIME: 2:30pm – 5:00pm
LOCATION: Clark Art Institute, Hunter Studio, Lunder Center, 225 South St, Williamstown, MA 01267
