About this event
One of 52 upcoming events at The Green at Shelburne Museum, and 237 across Burlington.
Join Carolyn Bauer, Marna and Chuck Davis Curator of American Art, for a guided tour of the exhibition, Norman Rockwell: At Home in Vermont, which explores how America’s beloved illustrator Norman Rockwell (1894–1978) crafted an idealized vision of Vermont—nostalgic, resilient, and mythic—during his most prolific years in Arlington (1939–1953). In his works, Rockwell offered a nation battered by the Great Depression and weathering World War II a reassuring image of American life: orderly, self-reliant, and picturesque. Drop-in program. Free for Members or with Museum admission. Limited to 20 participants. No advance registration; first come, first served.
