Can Art Change Us? The Transformative Power of Art
Thursday, February 21

This Town Hall-style conversation inspired by Norman Rockwell’s Four Freedoms paintings will explore the ways in which imagery inspires us, invites us to question the world around us, and affects change. Led by award-winning photojournalist and author Jane Feldman, expert commentators including Alix Kennedy, Director of the Eric Carle Museum and Melanie Mowinski, Art Professor at MCLA, will offer observations and inspire community discourse. Refreshments and a reception will follow. Free.

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.
