To support Emily Cole: Art & Artistry, a traveling collection-based exhibition that reclaims the successful 19th-century career of Emily Cole and positions her work within the trajectory of American art through new scholarship and the contemporary artwork of eight women from the Asian, Black, Caribbean diaspora, and Indigenous communities. The initiative aims to foreground 40 of her botanical paintings on paper and porcelain from the collection and to shift interpretative frameworks that persist around botanical and ceramic work from hobby to art.
