Restore "The Gossips" Drawing

Tax deductible
Psst! Pass it on! 

Norman Rockwell Museum needs your help! Today we are closing our campaign to conserve the Museum's beloved Norman Rockwell drawing of "The Gossips". It takes a village of supporters to preserve an art collection.

The 68-year old drawing is the only complete rendering of what would become one of America's most iconic paintings. The fragile nature of works on paper requires great care.

Your gift will help us reach our goal to secure needed funds for the conservation process.

And, your gift will be matched dollar for dollar up to $19,000 by a friend of the Museum. This generous gift will allow us to conserve both "The Gossips" drawing and an additional work of art if we reach our goal!

To learn more about the conservation process, watch this video of Rockwell's historic United Nations drawing undergoing repair: https://youtu.be/yV5M9rIPJ0o

When you participate in our campaign, you save a historic piece of art and join a dedicated group of people committed to this effort.

You can donate at any level from $1 on up!
