The Norman Rockwell Museum is honored to present a rare series of early twentieth century lighting advertisements by Norman Rockwell and fellow Golden Age illustrators Maxfield Parrish, N.C. Wyeth, Dean Cornwell, Stanley Arthurs, Worth Brehm, and Charles Chambers created for Edison Mazda Lamps, a division of the General Electric Company. These luminous, richly painted works were widely circulated in published advertisements through the 1920s and are on loan to the Museum for the first time through the generosity of GE Aerospace.
“Once a Tree: Continuity, Creativity, and Connection” explores the deep-rooted significance of trees in Haudenosaunee culture, tradition, and creative expression. Featuring the work of 42 artists and more than 100 objects—including decorative and utilitarian baskets, cradleboards, snowshoes, ladles, lacrosse sticks, toys, instruments, carvings, and sleds—this exhibition highlights the important relationship between nature and artistry. Selected from the Museum’s permanent collection, the exhibition was created with guidance from curatorial consultants Terry Chrisjohn III (Oneida), Preston Jacobs (Mohawk), and Sheila Ransom (Mohawk).
"Separated but Unbroken: The Haudenosaunee Boarding School Experience" explores the lasting impact of the Thomas Indian School, once located on the Cattaraugus Reservation south of Buffalo, NY, and The Mohawk Institute near Branford, Ontario. These institutions, which enrolled a significant number of Haudenosaunee students, were part of a larger system that sought to erase Indigenous identities while deeply shaping the lives of those who endured them. Co-curated by Erin Keaton (Mohawk), the exhibition sheds light on Haudenosaunee resilience.
Founded by English mystic Mother Ann Lee, the Shakers formed small, thriving villages based upon principles of equality and compassion. A celibate community, their worship was infused with music and dance. Like other social and religious experiments of their day, the Believers were seeking to create Heaven on Earth. To what extent did they succeed?
*This tour will cover approximately half a mile with some uneven terrain, with little to no incline.

In this two-day workshop, students will learn about the versatile nature of the traditional Korean papermaking technique Joomchi. Through the Joomchi process, multiple wet layers of Hanji (Korean mulberry paper) are agitated, squeezed, and thrown by hand to make one durable fabric-like sheet. Students will see how making various cuts, holes, and designs in their individual Hanji sheets can transform into unique and textured finished pieces! After making their Joomchi paper on the first day, students will come back to the next class and be able to alter their dry, finished work through embroidery, paper-cutting, collage, and more. This Joomchi technique has been used to make artistic two-dimensional sculptures and also functional wares such as clothes and wallets. Students are encouraged to bring any paper scraps or thread and hand-sewing supplies they would like to experiment with.

More about Mallory:
Mallory Zondag is a mixed-media fiber artist and artist educator. Her experience with textiles while in art school led her to create both independent and community sculpture through a variety of fiber art mediums. She explores deeply personal and connective universal stories through the meditative and hands-on practices of wet felting, weaving, sculpting, and stitching, seeking to bring the ephemeral into physical being. The growth and decay of the natural world, the duality of discomfort and attraction we feel towards it, and humanity's place within this dichotomy informs her dimensional textures and sculptural pieces.
