Although Anna Mary Robertson (“Grandma”) Moses lived in Eagle Bridge, NY, Bennington was her local museum. In the 1960s, the Bennington Museum mounted three hugely successful Moses exhibitions, which prompted them to install a permanent gallery devoted to the artist’s work. In 1973, the museum annexed the one-room schoolhouse attended by Moses, supplementing her art with memorabilia provided by her family. Jane Kallir’s talk examines Moses’s ties to the local community, the evolution of the Moses gallery at the Bennington Museum, and her and her family’s role in promoting the artist.

In 2013, the 150th anniversary year of the making of the Jane Stickle quilt, Pam Weeks came to Bennington Museum to examine and do further research on the iconic Civil War quilt. In this live, virtual presentation, Pam will reveal the results of her research and shed light on the life of the Vermont farm wife who made an incredible quilt. Recorded February 16, 2022 -
Michele Pagán presents an introduction to Bennington Museum's sampler collection from a conservator's point of view. This overview of all the samplers in the collection will explore the methods and materials involved in creating these pieces of art and will make a chronology from the earliest examples - schoolgirl art - up to the present. Michele will raise questions about some of the samplers in the collection - are they really what we think they are? - and provide pointers about how to look for frauds and fakes in your own collection.

Norman Rockwell designed and developed the compositions for his images meticulously, typically developing a full-scale charcoal drawing as the final step before beginning the full-color painting in oils. This highly finished study drawing of A Scout is Helpful was given to the little girl who modeled and has remained in Bennington with her family up to the present day. This drawing has been on long-term loan to Bennington Museum, and the Museum is currently in the process of purchasing it for the permanent collection. That’s where YOU come in! The Museum has committed over a quarter of the purchase price already. This year we would like to put just shy of $19,000 towards the purchase, which comes to $361 for each week of the year. Please consider making a gift today to ensure that A Scout is Helpful will continue to be enjoyed by Bennington County residents and visitors for generations to come. -
