Host or join a Gala roundtable with your friends and family, together with a special guest — one of the contemporary illustrators whose work is featured in the exhibition, and support the Museum we all love.

Join exhibition curators James J. Kimble and Stephanie Haboush Plunkett for a virtual conversation about Norman Rockwell: Imagining Freedom. Freedom as an aspirational idea and its realities through American history will be discussed through the art and artifacts on view.

Join three Imagining Freedom catalogue authors – outstanding scholars who will bring little known aspects of the Four Freedoms and Rockwell’s famed paintings into view. What did these stand for in their time? How did they shape perception and generate support for the war effort? Who were they speaking to and who was left out? What do they mean to us today?  Commentators include D.B. Dowd, Professor of Art and American Culture Studies, Washington University in St. Louis; James McCabe, Chief Collections Manager, Henry Ford Museum; and others.
