This evening's presentation for educators focuses on the exhibition Longing: Painting from the Pahari Kingdoms, 1680-1820. This exhibition explores the colorful and exquisitely detailed court paintings produced in the northwestern Himalayas of present-day India between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. Organized around the theme of “longing,” this innovative exhibition encourages visitors to experience art in a multi-sensory presentation.  Participants will enjoy dinner, a presentation, and a docent-guided tour of the exhibition. For each program attended, educators earn CEUs and one graduate credit, which is available for an additional fee.
