April 18, 6 - 7 p.m. | Join us for an evening centered around Stephen Towns’ exploration of how American history, especially Black American history, has shaped his practice of art. Towns will discuss how the history of Black Americans has been hidden in archives, passed down through oral traditions, or forgotten. He will share his passion for researching and discovering these histories and how they inspired his artistic practice. Learn more and register: https://lnkd.in/gYphXc-z

About us
More than a museum – The Rockwell is a unique community center where people enjoy, connect, and reflect on the essence of the American experience, character and values through the eyes of American artists. The Rockwell Museum is the only Smithsonian Affiliate in Upstate New York. Housed in the beautifully restored 19th- century Historic Old City Hall in Corning, New York, The Rockwell lays at the heart of the greater Finger Lakes fine arts community. The Rockwell Museum tells the story of the American experience through fine art. Housed within the Old City Hall building of Corning, this diverse collection includes a mix of nineteenth-century American paintings, historic bronzes, and Indian artifacts as well as twentieth-century modernists, illustration art, and contemporary photography. Featured galleries represent the works of Andy Warhol, the Taos Society of Artists, and masterworks of Remington and Russell.
