The Fort Collins Museum of Art announced five upcoming open admission days for October during Norman Rockwell’s 323 Saturday Evening Post Covers. Open admission days are a chance for the community to visit exhibitions free of admission charge thanks to the generosity of sponsors. We believe that a strong arts and culture presence is essential for a healthy community. The goal of Open Admission Days is to provide access to FCMOA's exhibitions and programs to the widest possible audience.
In addition to Open Admission Days, the Museum is also hosting educational lectures about Norman Rockwell. One of the most popular American artists of the past century, Norman Rockwell (1894-1978) was a keen observer of human nature and a gifted storyteller. For nearly seven decades, while history was being made all around him, Rockwell chronicled our changing society in the small details and nuanced scenes of ordinary people in everyday life. Norman Rockwell’s 323 Saturday Evening Post Covers has been organized by the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.

of school children, videos of the Museum project and more are
showcased. "The four week immersion by CSU students on this study
abroad trip resulted in rich learning experiences for all the students
involved," said Dr. Constance DeVereaux, Director of the LEAP Institute
for the Arts and one of three faculty leaders for the trip. She added,
"We want to share those experiences with a wider public. This exhibit
is our opportunity to do that."
