Dinner and the Show: Shadow Visionaries
Saturday, February 14, 2026
5:30 pm

Join Manton Curator of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs Anne Leonard for a special introduction to Shadow Visionaries, followed by a three-course meal inspired by nineteenth-century France. Constellation Culinary’s Chef Chris Gouty brings his creative spin to classical French cooking and the themes of memory, fantasy, and longing that anchor the exhibition. With subtle nods to Valentine’s Day, this Dinner and the Show perfectly combines art history, food, and fun.

The Clark Center galleries will be open from 5:30–6:30 pm with docents stationed throughout. Dinner begins at 6:30 pm.

Tickets $115 ($95 members). A ticket includes three courses and paired wine. Cash bar also available. Call 413 458 0434 with any dietary restrictions.
