The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute requests $166,578 to help support its public and academic programs, including new online initiatives. Since the pandemic crisis began, the Clark has focused on retaining permanent staff while providing virtual programs to its core audiences and keeping its campus open for recreation and respite. With support from the NEH, the Clark seeks to secure staff positions vital to program development and implementation, produce expanded and higher quality digital programming with necessary equipment upgrades and contract assistance, and include guest scholars, artists, and other voices in Clark programs.
