Make a piece of art that represents the woman you chose.

In Memoriam: Norma Greer Ogden, Old Corner House Founder
Norman Rockwell Museum is saddened to learn about the passing of one of its founding mothers, Norma Greer Ogden, who died January 9, 2013, at the age of 92. Ogden served on the Board of Trustees for the Old Corner House from 1966 to 1982, and served as its President from 1967 to 1970 and was Trustee Emerita at the time of her death. Her commitment to the community had a lasting impact, and her dedication and gift for relationships built the foundation of Norman Rockwell Museum as it exists today.
Using Comics in the Classroom
Norman Rockwell Museum welcomes teachers to our next educators symposium, "comics in the classroom", to be held at the Museum this Saturday, January 12, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The day-long symposium will explore curriculum-based connections to comics and creative applications for the classroom. One of the featured speakers at the Symposium will be Dr. William H. Foster III, of Naugatuck Valley Community College, who will explore the changing image of African-Americans in comics. When he was growing up in urban Philadelphia in the 1950s, Foster enjoyed reading and collecting comic books. But as an African-American, he seldom saw himself or his community reflected in their story lines.

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.
