Exhibition Preview - Norman Rockwell: At Home in Vermont

Join us in-person or online for a preview of the exhibition Norman Rockwell: At Home in Vermont, on view June 20–October 5, 2026.

Important figures include Winslow Homer, N.C. Wyeth, Maxfield Parrish, Rockwell Kent and Norman Rockwell—all of whom maintained a complicated relationship with commercial work as they pursued careers as creative practitioners in an era that witnessed the development of the persona of the modern artist.

Lecture followed by audience Q&A.
