Letter to the Editor: John Corry’s Article about the Clark Art Institute

Sep. 3, 2014:  

To the Editor:

I'm the director of communications at the Clark Art Institute and just read Mr. Corry's lovely article on our new campus.

I did want to advise you that the cafe in our new building will not close on October 13 as noted in his article. The cafe is open year-round.

We do have a seasonal al fresco dining terrace at the Lunder Center at Stone Hill (a quick golf cart ride up the hill on our campus), which will close on October 13. But the main cafe is open daily.

Also, please know that once the Manton Research Center is completed next spring, there will be a new coffee bar open in the lobby of that building. While we know that our visitors might enjoy an opportunity to have a coffee break inside the museum building, it's simply not possible to allow any beverages inside the museum. Having liquids in close proximity to the artwork in the collection is not permitted.

But we hope that our visitors will find two good options available to them between the Clark Center Cafe and the Manton Research Center's coffee bar.

Thank you!

Vicki Saltzman
Director of Communications, Clark Art Institute
