A Rich and Varied Palette: Coloring New England’s Past
REGISTRATION NOW OPEN! Interest in the history of color has been growing in recent decades, but few studies have examined color’s impact on specific cultural regions, such as New England. Despite the pervasive misconception of drabness, New England embraced color as a mode of defining cultural differences and status.
Through lectures, workshops, and tours, participants will experience the latest scholarship and scholars on color and gain a better understanding of the role of color in New England material life.
