Norman Rockwell Museum Opens Two New Exhibits

By Breanna SteeleiBerkshires Staff
STOCKBRIDGE, Mass. – The Norman Rockwell Museum will showcase two new collections on Saturday: one highlighting a local artist and the other exploring publications from the Jazz Age.
 
The exhibit "Shine a Light: The Art and Life of Deb Koffman" shows a collection of work by the local artist and author Deb Koffman
 
Through June 6, 2026 visitors will be able to view Koffman’s work donated by the Koffman family.
 
"She was not only a graphic artist...but she also was a mindfulness advocate, and worked a lot with some of the local institutions like Kripalu and others that focused on self care," said Russell Lord, chief of curatorial affairs.
 
Lord took over the exhibit in 2021 and said Koffman’s work was an advocate for kindness and compassion.
 
Koffman's work helped people overcome common challenges that face everyone like anxiety or depression, he said. 
 
What is wonderful about her work is that, even though it is expressive of the issues she has faced, the themes she explores are universal, Lord said.
