SUMMARY:Romney: Brilliant Contrasts in Georgian England at Yale Center for British Art
DESCRIPTION:The Yale Center for British Art\, in collaboration with the Yale University Art Gallery\, presents Romney: Brilliant Contrasts in Georgian England\, a compelling exhibition celebrating the museum’s reopening and showcasing the remarkable work of British portraitist George Romney (1734–1802). \nRenowned in his day for capturing the likenesses of fashionable Londoners\, Romney was considered a leading figure of Georgian portraiture\, rivaled only by contemporaries Thomas Gainsborough and Sir Joshua Reynolds. While his ambitions as a history painter were never fully realized\, Romney’s expressive drawings and mastery of form\, line\, and light speak volumes about his creative depth and vision. \nThe exhibition explores Romney’s dual talents through a diverse presentation of portraits\, preparatory sketches\, and musical instruments from the Morris Steinert Collection of Musical Instruments—reflecting his lesser-known interests in music and craftsmanship. Together\, these works shed light on Romney’s artistic legacy and the cultural contrasts of eighteenth-century England\, resonating with admirers from William Blake to contemporary artist Kehinde Wiley. \nRomney: Brilliant Contrasts in Georgian England is on view from Friday\, March 28 through Sunday\, October 19\, 2025\, at the Yale Center for British Art\, 1080 Chapel Street\, New Haven\, Connecticut. \nAdmission is free. For more information\, visit britishart.yale.edu.

SUMMARY:Seeds to Success: Children's Entrepreneurial Market at Lyman Orchards
DESCRIPTION:Young entrepreneurs will take center stage during the Seeds to Success: Children’s Entrepreneurial Market at Lyman Orchards in Middlefield on Saturday\, August 2. This unique event invites children ages 5 to 17 to showcase their creativity and business savvy by operating their very own vendor booths from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. \nPart of an award-winning program\, this market encourages kids to develop valuable skills in entrepreneurship\, innovation\, and leadership through hands-on experience.

All participants must adhere to the market guidelines: no fundraising\, MLMs\, animals\, or sales on behalf of parents are allowed. \nPricing and registration details will be announced soon. No refunds or credits will be issued for any reason. \nLyman Orchards is located at 32 Reeds Gap Road\, Middlefield\, Connecticut. For more information\, visit lymanorchards.com or call 860-349-6000.
