SUMMARY:First Look | Painters\, Ports\, and Profits: Artists and the East India Company\, 1750–1850 at Yale Center for British Art
DESCRIPTION:This first-look program offers insight into the exhibition Painters\, Ports\, and Profits: Artists and the East India Company\, 1750–1850 through a conversation led by exhibition co-curators Laurel Peterson and Holly Shaffer. Moderated by Romita Ray\, a specialist in the art of the British Empire in India\, the program explores how art produced across Asia reflects the exchange of artistic ideas among Indian\, Chinese\, and British artists during a period shaped by global trade and imperial ambition. Particular attention is given to paintings and drawings of plants and animals\, as well as the circulation of materials such as paper and pigments that supported this cross-cultural artistic production. \nThe program takes place on Thursday\, January 15\, 2026 from 4 pm to 5 pm at the Yale Center for British Art\, located at 1080 Chapel Street\, New Haven\, Connecticut. Admission details and additional information are available through the Yale Center for British Art.
