On Thursday, September 17, 2026 from 2-3:30pm on Zoom and streamed to our Kingsley Room, join us for a virtual program and learn more about the art of Norman Rockwell.
Rockwell chronicled middle-class life in the twentieth century. His paintings, produced for calendars, cards and magazines including The Saturday Evening Post, show the heartwarming and humorous aspects of American life. His work focused on shared experiences like childhood, family life, holidays, work, sports and patriotism and helped to shape the way Americans understood the American experience.
