Research and Academic Program Announces 25 Year Anniversary Celebration

In June 2025, the Research and Academic Program (RAP) is gathering to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the program. Past fellows, former conference conveners and participants, previous RAP and Clark staff, and a host of other invited scholars, curators, and practitioners, will convene for lectures, roundtable conversations, seminars, film screenings, special tours, and object sessions.

RAP is coming together under a theme, Writing Art History, to think together over four days about the ways in which writing art history is changing rapidly. This is not your typical art history conference. No stacked sessions of twenty-minute papers. No keynote lectures. More hikes, s’mores, swag, and enjoying the beauty of the Clark grounds, drinking wine and sampling our beloved Berkshires cheeses. Wild swimming encouraged. 

June 25-28, 2025
