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.

Mokuhanga, or Japanese woodblock printing, is one of the oldest kinds of printmaking as well as one of the most environmentally friendly. Many famous works of art from Japan, such as “The Great Wave” were made using this method. Students will produce prints consisting of up to four layers. This class will run for six sessions, and will take students through every part of the process, along with a critique and optional exchange on the last day.

Producers of Semester Cinema and Kingdom County Productions are seeking Berkshires local actors for consideration for all roles in their next film, set to be shot in the area during March, April and early May of 2026. Currently working under the title An Enemy of the People, the project is an hybrid adaptation of the Tony-winning play by Henrik Ibsen and Dashiell Hammett’s noir crime novel, Red Harvest. Set in 1957, the film follows Dr. Ebba Stockmann, who returns home to respond to an urgent issue at town’s newly renovated spa and mineral baths, only to find the man who called her in has mysteriously died. Suspecting foul play but getting nowhere with local police, she recruits the help of the town’s newspaper editor for a winding investigation that eventually cracks open widespread issues of corruption, contamination, and complacency.
The project will be produced under an agreement with SAG-AFTRA, though non-SAG actors with strong resumes are encouraged to submit.
