Though much of the Clark is in the throes of construction, the auditorium will continue to function, though a bit of a challenge to reach. The courtyard is closed off, so you will have to come through the West entrance -- park on South Street, or in the lot to the left of the entrance road, then walk under the bridge that connects the two museum buildings, and around the auditorium to the rear entrance.
On Saturday Oct. 12, the regular Clark fall film series will begin. Here are the details:

"Artists Behaving Badly"
Free film series in Clark auditorium
Saturdays at 2:00 pm
Artists tend by nature to be transgressive, in the life as well as the work. While the Clark usually celebrates the boldness of the artist’s work, this film series takes an ironical look at examples of bad behavior provided by the artist’s life – be it forgery or fornication; drugs or drink; mayhem, madness, or even murder.
