Much as Norman Rockwell’s work was influential in bringing the country together at pivotal times, NRM’s Unity Project campaigns are a collaboration with artists and organizations to advance initiatives that make the world a better place.
The Unity Project calls upon all Americans to uphold democracy by voting.
This dynamic digital poster campaign aims to inspire citizens to vote. Striking images by the nation’s top illustrators work to establish unity and belonging among all Americans, who share in common the right to elect a government of the people.
Compelling works by Monica Ahanonu, Lisk Feng, Timothy Goodman, Edel Rodriguez, Gary Taxali, and Shar Tuiasoa reflect each artist’s personal voice and a diverse range of artistic approaches.
Educators looking for tools to provide their students with meaningful connections to social justice and human rights will find compelling visual and interactive content in the Norman Rockwell Museum’s Virtual Exhibition, “Imagining Freedom”.

New York Times article explores Freedom of Speech ‘meme’
July 9, 2024—Norman Rockwell’s Freedom of Speech has taken on a new life online, as explored in a recent article in the New York Times.
“Across social media, his work ‘Freedom of Speech’ appears alongside all manner of strong opinions, from the highly serious to the absurd to the esoteric, enshrining itself into the lingua franca of the internet decades after its creator’s death,” the article notes. The painting began to show up in posts on Twitter/X in 2020.

Land Acknowledgement
It is with gratitude and humility that we acknowledge that we are learning, speaking and gathering on the ancestral homelands of the Mohican people, who are the indigenous peoples of this land on which the Norman Rockwell Museum was built. Despite tremendous hardship in being forced from here, today their community resides in Wisconsin and is known as the Stockbridge-Munsee Community. We pay honor and respect to their ancestors past and present as we commit to building a more inclusive and equitable space for all.
