SUMMARY:Day Trip to the Furniture Study of the Yale University Art Gallery with Curator-led Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join members of the CMCH Decorative Arts Council on a special bus trip to the Furniture Study of the Yale University Art Gallery. Our visit will begin with a tour of Art and Industry in Early America: Rhode Island Furniture\, 1650-1830\, led by exhibit curator Patricia E. Kane\, the Friends of American Arts at Yale Curator of American Decorative Arts. After a break for a delicious lunch\, we will enjoy a guided tour of the Furniture Study\, which houses more than 1\,000 works from the Gallery’s collection of American Decorative Arts. You won’t want to miss this wonderful small group tour experience. \nThe bus will depart the CMCH promptly at 9:00 am and return at approximately 5:00 pm. Lunch is included with the tour. \nFree for CMCH Decorative Arts Council Members \n$85 for CMCH members\, $100 for non-members \nTo register for the trip\, please contact Adult Programs Manager Jenny Steadman by phone at (860) 236-5621 or email Jennifer_steadman@chs.org. \n  \nMore information on the  exhibit and the Furniture Study: \nThe Furniture Study houses more than 1\,000 works from the Gallery’s collection of American Decorative Arts. This installation of chests\, tables\, chairs\, desks\, clocks\, cupboards\, looking glasses\, and woodturnings charts important stylistic developments in American craftsmanship and design. Since the opening of the Furniture Study in the 1960s\, efforts have been made to acquire a representative selection of works that offer the opportunity for in-depth study of both stylistic development and regional differences. The Furniture Study also houses a selection of historical tools associated with woodworking and cabinetmaking. The collection is particularly strong in colonial and Federal furniture\, mostly from the Mabel Brady Garvan Collection. \nArt and Industry in Early America: Rhode Island Furniture\, 1650–1830 \nAugust 19\, 2016–January 8\, 2017 \nThis groundbreaking exhibition presents a comprehensive survey of Rhode Island furniture from the colonial and early Federal periods\, including elaborately carved chairs\, high chests\, bureau tables\, and clocks. Drawing together more than 130 exceptional objects from museums\, historical societies\, and private collections\, the show highlights major aesthetic innovations developed in the region. In addition to iconic\, stylish pieces from important centers of production like Providence and Newport\, the exhibition showcases simpler examples made in smaller towns and for export. The exhibition also addresses the surprisingly broad reach of Rhode Island’s furniture production\, from the boom of the export trade at the turn of the 17th century and its steady growth throughout the 18th century to the gradual decline of the handcraft tradition in the 19th century. Reflecting on one of New England’s most important artistic traditions\, Art and Industry in Early America encourages a newfound appreciation for this dynamic school of American furniture making. \nExhibition organized by Patricia E. Kane\, the Friends of American Arts at Yale Curator of American Decorative Arts. \n

SUMMARY:Fashion Tour and Lunch: A Day at the Wadsworth Atheneum
DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM HELD AT THE WADSWORTH ATHENEUM MUSEUM OF ART. \nJoin your friends on the CMCH Fashion & Textiles Council for a very special tour of the Wadsworth Atheneum’s fashion-themed exhibit\, Gothic to Goth: Romantic Era Fashion & Its Legacy led by Lynne Z. Bassett\, Costume and Textile Historian\,  museum consultant\, and organizer of the exhibit. The tour will be followed by a delicious lunch at Salute Restaurant (featuring their delectable sweet potato ravioli!). Participants then have the option to return to the Wadsworth Atheneum and explore the rest of the museum at their leisure for a perfect afternoon. Participants will meet at the Wadsworth Atheneum at 10:45 am and the tour will begin at 11:00 am. \nFree for Fashion & Textile Council members. \n$30 CMCH members\, $40 non-members \nSpace is limited and pre-registration is required. To pre-register\, please contact Adult Programs Manager Jenny Steadman by phone at (860) 236-5621 x289 or by email at jennifer_steadman@chs.org. \nGothic to Goth: Romantic Era Fashion & Its Legacy is the first exhibition to fully explore the Romantic era as a formative period in costume history. Presenting historic garments alongside literary works\, paintings\, prints\, and decorative arts\, the exhibition examines how European fashions from the Medieval\, Renaissance\, and Baroque eras influenced and inspired new styles created between 1810 and 1860. Gothic to Goth illustrates how early nineteenth century costume—just like fine and decorative art\, architecture\, interior design\, literature\, and music—moved away from the order and rationality of the previous half-century to embrace imagination and emotion\, originality and vision\, and individuality and subjectivity as guiding principles. The exhibition culminates with a look at recent Goth and Steampunk fashions\, revealing their roots in the rich imagination and aesthetic of Romanticism. \nWant to know how to join the CMCH Fashion & Textiles Council?
