to Norman Rockwell: The Arlington
Artistic Community, 1920 -1960”. Come and join us from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. for this
special preview evening, celebrating the varied lives of artists, writers, and
composers in the Arlington
area in the first half of the 20th century. Enjoy a glimpse of the
exhibit, dance to the Richard Cherry trio, watch an
artist create a special on-site artwork during the reception, get insight from
the curator and enjoy the delicious hors-d'oeuvres and cash bar. Due to the generosity of Chittenden Bank, the
