Norman Rockwell Museum announces its Summer 2026 Gala, serving as the official kick-off for the landmark exhibition, American Stories: From Revolution to Rockwell. This festive evening marks the beginning of the Museum’s season-long celebration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States and honors the remarkable 40-year leadership of Director/CEO Laurie Norton Moffatt. The Gala celebration on June 6—an important annual fundraising event—will begin at 6 p.m. at the Museum. Guests will enjoy an exclusive first look at the exhibition, followed by an evening of music inspired by America’s many chapters, performed by Local Combo, along with cuisine reflecting the diverse cultures that shape the nation.
