Summary
"Envisioning New England explores the period from 1850 to 1950 and looks at both the role of American artists in New England and the origins of the member institutions of the Consortium of New England Community Art Museums, their shared histories, and how they reflect the arts of New England. The Consortium consists of fourteen New England cultural institutions, renowned and lesser-known, in five states."--Jacket.
