This show, composed of 19 pieces, is on display in storefront windows on Spring and Water Streets in through Labor Day. In order to maximize display hours, limit indoor traffic, and encourage social distancing, all artwork and accompanying labels have been reproduced on decals and placed directly on the window panes. Local artists who either reside in Williamstown or have a studio space in Williamstown were invited to submit artwork for consideration. Eighty-six works were submitted, and an initial round of voting by Williamstown Cultural District executive committee members narrowed the field to 44. Those finalists were reviewed by a jury that included Richard Rand, associate director for collections at the J. Paul Getty Museum; Elizabeth Sandoval, curatorial assistant at Williams College Museum of Art; and Joan Zegras, publisher.
Planning Board members Chris Winters and Stephanie Boyd participate in a forum on Willinet with Debby Dane, right. WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. Once upon a time, there was a company called Massflora that wanted to grow marijuana on a Blair Road property. It needed a special permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals to do so, and the application drew passionate opposition from residents near the property who worried about the plan s visual impact, the potential for drawing thieves who might grow violent and the noxious odor produced by the flowering cannabis plants Massflora planned to start indoors and transplant to a field.
President Joe Biden convened world leaders virtually April 22 and 23 to discuss the climate emergency. Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker signed into law the Legislatureâs road map toward carbon neutrality on March 26. Williamstown will get to vote on the townâs COOL Committeeâs Net Zero resolution at town meeting June 8. There appears to be a trend.
All are reactions to the climate emergency caused by the emission of greenhouse gases which, accumulating in the stratosphere, trap heat, resulting in a dislocated climate and rising sea levels.
Of the many ways to respond to the climate, perhaps the easiest is to vote. Provided, of course that we mean it and intend to act on our beliefs. Residents of Williamstown â perhaps other communities will follow suit â will have that opportunity.
