Stockbridge Neighbors, what a year this has been! I hope you and your loved ones have fared well. I’m happy to give you a Spring update on the museum. Also go to Youtube.
Norman Rockwell Museum closed last March 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic but continued to serve our community online with the Virtual Museum. Board and staff felt that it was critical to do our part to support the community — particularly students and teachers learning in new ways, and to connect isolated friends through engaging online programs. All through the spring, summer, and long winter, inspiring and informative artist talks, discussions, and close-looking at art were available to everyone at the Museum’s website.
When we were able to re-open last July, with very low levels of visitors permitted, we opened the doors, our arms, and our hearts to first responders who were admitted free, and instituted a “Pay What You Will” option so that all who were coping with difficult or changed circumstances could experience the joy and uplifting feeling of looking at inspiring art. We were so happy to welcome many of you to the galleries, masked and safely distanced. I am pleased to report that everyone, visitors and staff, have been healthy all these months. It has been a true community effort of love and respect.
We thank you, our treasured Stockbridge friends, here in Norman Rockwell’s hometown, for your support. We anticipate the full re-opening of visitation that seems likely to occur over the summer. Our thanks and sincere gratitude for your friendship and community spirit. We look forward to welcoming you to the galleries!
