The Berkshire Edge features All for Laughs: Artists of the Famous Cartoonist Course
Stockbridge — The Norman Rockwell Museum will debut its new exhibition “All for Laughs: The Artists of the Famous Cartoonist Course,” on Saturday, March 1. The course was correspondence based and part of the Famous Artists School, founded in 1948 in Westport, Conn. “The school was started by artist Albert Dorn, who at the time was the president of the Society of Illustrators,” museum Chief Curator Stephanie Plunkett told The Berkshire Edge. “He was able to recruit 11 famous illustrators, including Rockwell, to create the curriculum for this correspondence course.”

Land Acknowledgement
It is with gratitude and humility that we acknowledge that we are learning, speaking and gathering on the ancestral homelands of the Mohican people, who are the indigenous peoples of this land on which the Norman Rockwell Museum was built. Despite tremendous hardship in being forced from here, today their community resides in Wisconsin and is known as the Stockbridge-Munsee Community. We pay honor and respect to their ancestors past and present as we commit to building a more inclusive and equitable space for all.
