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. -
