The population included a community of Quakers who fled the violence of the French and Indian Wars and the American Revolution only to be drawn back by the abundant opportunities of the region. Lumber, quarried stone and water fueled the economic engine that transformed Glens Falls from the Corners to a mid-19th century boomtown. The wealthy community became a cultural and social outpost in the Lower Adirondacks, a quality it retains still. While Adirondack Mountain communities’ economies based historically on milling, mining and quarrying have given way to recreation and tourism as their major industries, Glens Falls manages to straddle both worlds. It retains its downtown paper mill, Finch Paper, which has been there for almost 150 years. Finch supports Glens Falls families with more than 500 well-paying manufacturing jobs. The city and region are also home to a growing high-tech medical instrument manufacturing sector. Glens Falls is the gateway to nature and recreation tourism in the Adirondacks. Canny visitors also know that Glens Falls is the perfect headquarters Study Area Boundary for a ski vacation: Whiteface is two and a half hours away, Killington is less than two hours by car.

In Williamstown, significant progress was made on the campus expansion as construction of the underground facilities wing was completed and we turned our attention to the construction of the new Visitor, Exhibition, and Conference Center. Innovative new approaches to installation and interpretation kept the Clark’s permanent collection accessible to our audience in both the Manton Research Center and the Museum Building. Clark Classic is a traditional installation featuring some of the collection’s highlights, while Clark Remix is a physical and virtual exhibition of works from the permanent collection that features a salon-style installation of some eighty paintings, twenty sculptures, and three hundred of the Clark’s finest examples of decorative arts. Visitors can also create their own “curatorial remix” of the collection through an interactive program called uCurate. The Clark’s collection of nineteenth-century French paintings continues to tour the world and was shown at several venues this year, including the Musée des impressionnismes, Giverny, France; CaixaForum, Barcelona; and the Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth, Texas. A dynamic series of special exhibitions was presented in both Williamstown and beyond in this past year.
