American Nostalgia
Contemporary Artists and Illustrators Reinterpret the Traditional Themes of Norman Rockwell

More than thirty years after his death, iconic American artist Norman Rockwell’s art is still enormously popular.

The opening reception will feature two barbershop quartets, The Gaslight Revue and WYSIWYG, performing classic songs from the Great American Songbook.
