Model Behavior: A Panel and Gathering of Rockwell Models

Norman Rockwell’s most iconic images are populated with the faces of his friends, neighbors, and loved ones. Their expressions, personalities, and experiences brought vibrancy and authenticity to his works, making them both evocative and relatable. Join as these familiar faces share their stories of modeling for Rockwell and listen as they tell us how these memorable images came to be. We’ll be joined by models Mindy Pelham (The Babysitter), Mary Whalen (The Young Lady with the Shiner), Don Trachte Jr. (Santa’s Visitors), Jim Edgerton (Growth of a Leader), and more. After the model panelists share their stories, an extended Q & A will follow. This will also be a time for any Rockwell models in the audience to share brief anecdotes. Free for Members or with Museum admission. Registration recommended.
