FRIDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES
A Rockwellian Film Series
Fridays July 8, August 12, September 2, October 7

Similar to the way Norman Rockwell inspired and moved everyday Americans through his covers for The Saturday Evening Post, films often provide a glimpse of a romanticized America. Join us for this monthly series of classic and current films which explore themes featured in Rockwell’s paintings. Each film will be introduced by Curator of Exhibitions Jesse Kowalski to provide context, followed by an audience Q&A. Refreshments will be served.

Free with Museum admission; Film only $10, $5 for members and children age 12 and under.

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.
