We are honored to have Diane Disney Miller, Walt Disney’s daughter, and Marge Champion, the celebrated dancer who modeled Snow White’s movements for Disney, serve as Honorary Co-Chairs for the event.

The evening festivities will transform the Museum’s scenic grounds into an homage to Snow White and the enchanted forest. Enjoy a presentation by Gabriella Calicclio, CEO, The Walt Disney Family Museum and special performances to commemorate some of the iconic moments from the film.

It will be a charmed night full delightful cuisine by SOMA, an auction,* and dancing to John Sauer & Friends. Think “old-world Hollywood premier” in a gorgeous Berkshire setting. *For an auction preview- click here.

Members Opening Event
Jarvis Rockwell: Maya, Illusion, and Us
Saturday, July 13 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Fascinated by material culture and what the objects of mass production have to say about our lives, hopes, and longings, Jarvis Rockwell creates artworks that are at once tangible and transient, reflecting the impermanence of all things. Imbued with a sense of mystery and spiritual curiosity, his sensory structure drawings, Hindu-inspired pyramids assembled with hundreds of toy figurines, and tableau boxes will be on view in this first retrospective of the artist’s work―an exploration of his artistic journey and the ideas and questions that continue to drive his work. A documentary film about the art of Jarvis Rockwell by filmmaker Rachel Victor will also be featured.

Four Freedoms Forums:
A Series of Town Hall Meetings at Norman Rockwell Museum
Youth, Identity, and the Media
Thursday, July 25, 5:30 p.m.

Join us to share your thoughts on how contemporary media is shaping the ways that young people view themselves and navigate their social and cultural milieu. This Town Hall-style conversation inspired by Norman Rockwell’s Four Freedoms paintings will inspire community discourse, with a reception to follow. Free.
