Norman Rockwell 323 Saturday Evening Post Covers Exhibit

NORMAN ROCKWELL’S 323 SATURDAY EVENING POST COVERS  
XHIBIT COMING TO MUSEUM OF NORTHWEST COLORADO FOR THE SUMMER OF 2012.  THE LARGEST ROCKWELL EXHIBIT EVER SHOWN IN COLORADO.  

Museum of Northwest Colorado (www.museumnwco.org) will host a FREE exhibit featuring all of Norman Rockwell’s Saturday Evening Post covers.  The exhibit will open May 14 and run through September 28th.  Rockwell’s Post cover illustrations charmed and delighted readers for over six decades and his humorous and touching paintings still capture hearts and imaginations today.  This exhibit, from the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stock-bridge, Maine, has traveled the country and attracts visitors of all backgrounds and ages.   

“We are thrilled to host this exhibit of Rockwell’s work, which is the second time we have had an exhibit featuring his illustrations.  His work defines our history as a nation during the twentieth century, yet has a timeless quality which still speaks to our lives today."
                                                                   Janet Gerber, Assistant Director
