Rockwell Museum Director featured in magazine forum
03:32PM / Tuesday, June 09, 2009
GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. – Laurie Norton Moffat, the director and CEO of the Norman Rockwell Museum, will discuss the museum’s forty-year history and its exciting plans for the future in “Forty Years Young,” part of Berkshire Living’s award-winning Rest of the Story series of free public forums, on Sunday, June 21, at 11 a.m., at the Triplex Cinema in Great Barrington.
An outgrowth of the story “American Idol” by Berkshire Living senior editor Lesley Ann Beck -- who will also participate in the event – in the June special museum anniversary issue, the event, moderated by editor-in-chief Seth Rogovoy, will focus on how the museum has handled its namesake’s great legacy while forging a path to being the premier museum of illustration art in the nation, as well as its efforts to mirror itself as an online museum in recognition of our increasingly digital world. In addition to a conversation with Norton Moffat, the event will feature a question-and-answer session.
Each month, Berkshire Living, a regional lifestyle and culture magazine, and the Triplex join forces to present “The Rest of the Story,” free public forums based on an article running in the concurrent issue of the magazine. The series has won several awards Community Service by the National City and Regional Magazine Association.
