Exploring Calvin and Hobbes
Exploring Calvin and Hobbes revisits the beloved comic strip created by Bill Watterson from 1985 to 1995 and explores his mastery of the comic strip art form through engaging characters, thoughtful writing and creative layouts. This exhibition marks the first time that Bill Watterson’s original drawings have been made available for a touring exhibition, and Norman Rockwell Museum is proud to be the first venue to present Exploring Calvin and Hobbes in its entirety. The exhibition will feature original Calvin and Hobbes daily and Sunday strips as well as specialty pieces by Watterson from his collection of more than 3,000 originals housed at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum at The Ohio State University. It also explores the history, artistic influences, and creative vision behind Calvin and Hobbes, offering insight into Watterson’s inspirations, including George Herriman and Charles M. Schulz, whose work will also be on view. This traveling exhibition was organized by The Ohio State University Libraries’ Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum and was curated by Jenny E. Robb, Head Curator for the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum. Exploring Calvin and Hobbes is made possible in part by Media Sponsor: Berkshire Eagle Media

Norman Rockwell: The Human Touch
As a Time magazine reporter observed in 1943, Norman Rockwell “constantly achieves that compromise between a love of realism and the tendency to idealize, which is one of the most deeply ingrained characteristics of the American people.” His art has long been defined by a hopeful and admiring view of humanity. Throughout his career, he sought to capture the warmth and complexities of people’s fleeting interactions with one another― narratives shaped as much by observations and affection for his subjects as by their shared emotions and experiences. Beneath their familiar narratives, Rockwell’s illustrations are grounded in empathy―the ability to imagine the world from another’s point of view. His art established a shared sense of national identity that was embraced by audiences who shared his vision and recognized their own aspirations in the stories he chose to tell. At the same time, his work acknowledges life’s many contradictions. Rockwell once explained that while the world was not as ideal as he had hoped, he chose to paint it as it might be—where sadness is gentle, problems are human, and everyday situations carry meaning. Later in life, as his focus turned toward pressing social concerns, his empathetic vision expanded to address injustice and change with honesty and moral clarity. The artworks in this exhibition highlight Rockwell’s enduring commitment to portraying people not as heroes or villains, but as individuals rich with emotion and inner life. His careful attention to gesture, expression, and body language—from moments of humor to quiet reflection—invites us to look closely, to recognize ourselves in others, and to remember that compassion and empathy begin with the desire to see the world through another’s eyes.

George Herriman, Krazy Kat, and the Path to Calvin and Hobbes
George Herriman (1880–1944) transformed the comic strip into a medium of artistic invention and poetic possibility. Best known as the creator of Krazy Kat, Herriman challenged conventional ideas about humor, storytelling, and visual space, creating comics that were as imaginative and emotionally resonant as they were funny. Set against the ever-shifting mesas and desert landscapes of Coconino County, Arizona, Krazy Kat blended slapstick comedy with surreal imagery, inventive language, and an openness to ambiguity that set it apart from most newspaper comics of its era. At a time when comic strips typically aimed for straightforward jokes and tidy resolutions, Herriman embraced complexity, inviting readers into a world where meaning could be playful, layered, and unexpected. Among his most devoted admirers was Bill Watterson, creator of Calvin and Hobbes, who cited Herriman as a foundational influence on his work. This exhibition explores the creative connections between these two visionary cartoonists and highlights Herriman’s enduring influence on the art of comics. Through their distinctive yet deeply connected approaches to storytelling, Herriman and Watterson demonstrated that comic strips could be more than entertainment. Their work expanded the possibilities of the medium, showing how comics can serve as powerful expressions of curiosity, imagination, emotion, and artistic innovation.
Outrunning Time | Civic Orchestra of New Haven
Three composers. Three extraordinary musical voices. Not nearly enough time. The Civic Orchestra of New Haven, under the direction of Music Director Nadya Potemkina, presents Outrunning Time, a Masterworks concert featuring the works of Gordon Duncan, Lili Boulanger, and Vassili Kalinnikov — three composers whose lives were cut short, yet who left behind music of remarkable depth, originality, and expressive power. The program opens with Gordon Duncan's The Sleeping Tune, featuring the unexpected pairing of bagpipes and organ. Lili Boulanger's rarely heard Vieille prière bouddhique brings together the orchestra, tenor Omar Jabril Sandakly, and the New Haven Chorale in a powerful musical reflection. The afternoon culminates with Vassili Kalinnikov's Symphony No. 1, filled with sweeping melodies and rich orchestral color. For more than 85 years, the Civic Orchestra of New Haven has been a vibrant part of the city's cultural life, bringing together dedicated musicians in performances that reflect artistic excellence and a strong connection to the community. Join us for an afternoon of rarely heard music, unexpected sounds, and sweeping symphonic melodies. Saturday, November 14, 2026 | 4:00 PM Battell Chapel | 400 College Street, New Haven, CT Tickets: $20 general admission | $10 students and seniors | Free for ages 18 and under.

One Season, Many Lights: A Holiday Celebration
Across cultures and communities, seasonal celebrations bring light to our lives through traditions of remembrance, gratitude, generosity, and hope. One Season, Many Lights: A Holiday Celebration brings together the warm and familiar holiday imagery of Norman Rockwell with the work of an inspiring group of visual storytellers whose distinctive perspectives illuminate the richness and diversity of seasonal traditions. From Thanksgiving and Christmas to Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and New Year’s, the original illustrations in this exhibition were created for magazines, books, greeting cards, and other publications. Together, they explore the rituals, stories, and shared moments that make the holidays meaningful, from gatherings with family and friends to acts of generosity, reflection, celebration, and renewal. Rockwell’s beloved images of winter, Christmas, and American life are presented alongside the unique visions of Katie Atkinson, Leo and Diane Dillon, Mordicai Gerstein, Karla Gudeon, Thea Kliros, E. B. Lewis, Barbara McClintock, Jacqui Morgan, Jerry Pinkney, Wendy Popp, Anna Mary Robertson (Grandma Moses), Helen Farr Sloan, and William Steig. Bringing together artists from different generations, backgrounds, and artistic traditions, One Season, Many Lights invites visitors to discover both the particularity of individual celebrations and the experiences they share: coming together, remembering what matters, giving thanks, and looking forward with hope to the year ahead.

E Pluribus Unum (Out of Many, One): 400 Years of American Song
The Vermont Choral Union (VCU) announces its new music director, Cole Marino. This is Cole's fourth season with VCU, having spent the previous three in the bass section and as assistant director. A Vermont native, Cole has a deep love for music in all its forms and is passionate about bringing musicians and audiences together for adventurous and vibrant performances. Under Cole’s direction, VCU is very excited to present a selection of American music, highlighting the works of Aaron Copland alongside other, lesser-known composers including Amy Beach, Samuel Barber, Harry Burleigh, and Queen Liliʻuokalani, the last reigning monarch of Hawaiʻi. The program explores the questions posed by American identity, and highlights the conflicting experiences of grief, joy, humor, and pride that come with it. The program will be accompanied by spoken word reflections selected and performed by local high-school students. These spoken interludes, quotes from notable Americans on a range of subjects, will serve to place the music in a new context, and shape the evening in a unique and meaningful way. Promising an evening of music that delights, challenges, and entertains, this is a performance you won’t want to miss!

Join teaching artist Pari Pfenninger for an inspiring three-hour intuitive painting workshop designed to awaken creativity, encourage experimentation, and open the door to new ways of seeing. Rather than focusing on what a painting should look like, you'll explore the freedom of responding to color, texture, gesture, and emotion in the moment. Through spontaneous brushwork, unexpected color combinations, expressive marks, and layers of paint, you'll discover images and abstract compositions as they naturally emerge. There is no prescribed subject matter and no expectation of a finished masterpiece—just an opportunity to experiment, take creative risks, and see where the process takes you. Whether you're an experienced artist or simply looking to reconnect with your creative side, this workshop invites you to quiet your inner critic, trust your instincts, and embrace the unexpected. Come with an open mind and leave with a fresh perspective on your own creative possibilities. Space is limited to 12 participants to ensure an intimate and engaging experience. Pari will provide primary colors, white, black, select contemporary colors, and painting mediums. Painting paper and some brushes will also be available. Feel free to supply your own large canvas, if desired (20" x 24" or 24" x 30"), your own favorite paints or additional colors and personal brushes.

Hornbills, Macaws and Birds of Paradise: Filming Birds for Science and Conservation
Over the past ten years, Tim Laman has aimed his camera at charismatic bird species, trying to tell their stories to raise conservation awareness. In partnership with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Netflix and the BBC, Laman has made films about critically endangered Helmeted Hornbills, Birds-of-Paradise and Scarlet Macaws and the people trying to save them from chick poachers. In this presentation, he will share the stories of these projects and discuss the potential impacts of different styles of natural history films, as well as the potential for scientific discovery during filming projects. The hope is that by telling the stories of these charismatic species we can make an impact for conservation, not only for the birds, but also for their forest habitats and all their other inhabitants. This event is co-hosted by the Essex County Ornithological Club. Morse Auditorium Free This event is co-hosted by the Essex County Ornithological Club.

Will Evans
18+, Positive I.D. Required Will Evans creates music as an open invitation—to drop your guard, tune in, and move through the world a little more freely. Rooted in folk tradition yet unconfined by genre, his songs blend thoughtful, quotable lyrics with sunlit grooves and global textures, encouraging listeners to reconnect with their most honest selves. Based in Rhode Island, the singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist has built a devoted following by pairing sound with intention, most notably through his Kind Folk community, which turns shows into shared experiences of kindness, charity, and collective uplift. Known for his dynamic live performances, Evans weaves together acoustic guitar, handpan, didgeridoo, beatboxing, and percussion to create a fluid, organic sound that feels both grounded and expansive. His 2025 release The Wild Unknown pushes that vision further, exploring the crossroads of contemporary folk, electronica, and rock, with collaborations from artists like Tristan Prettyman, Dirtwire, and Moontricks. From sold-out rooms across the U.S. and Europe to stages shared with Crosby & Nash, Grace Potter, Bruce Hornsby,Dirtwire, Trevor Hall, and Railroad Earth, Will Evans continues to build a musical space where connection comes first—and everyone belongs. Steve Rondo has built a following across the Northeast, touring beach towns, dive bars, and regional festivals. Songs like Flowers of La Jolla and Afternoon Rebellion showcase his blend of heartfelt storytelling and guitar-driven arrangements — music made for long drives and reflection. A surfer at heart, Rondo brings coastal atmosphere into his songwriting. His songs mirror the ocean’s push and pull — building into anthemic choruses before settling into calm. Themes of freedom, uncertainty, and searching for direction run throughout his work, capturing the feeling of chasing waves and dreams. Live, Rondo and his band balance raw emotion with communal energy. Highlights include opening for Dermot Kennedy in Portland, Maine in 2022, plus performances at Levitate Music Festival and 92.5 The River’s Riverfest, cementing their reputation as a rising live act in the region.

Bess Atwell
Sometimes we have to leave what we know behind in order to find ourselves. For British artist Bess Atwell, a spontaneous move to Canada, where she lived for nine months, proved the catalyst for one of her most vividly realised, honest albums to date. Cut a Figure, her fourth record, doesn’t just trace the outlines; it digs deep as Atwell analyzes a lifetime’s worth of relationships, decisions, and motivations. To make such an album, she had to abandon some of the creative processes that had become second nature. “The songs I really enjoyed performing from my last record were the rare moments where I put down any instruments, and it was just me singing to my audience, which can be a bit scary,” she says, referring to 2024’s Aaron Dessner-produced Light Sleeper. “But those were the songs that seemed to connect the most, and where I felt most free to actually live with the song and what it was about.” She reclaims it all on "Tonight I Am Allowed," enveloped by looping textures of piano, analogue synths, and shimmering drum patterns. “I’m tired of acting,” she sings, “Like it’s gone wrong when maybe/ This is just how they made me/ And I become what I was.” Atwell’s voice is as beautiful as ever, but there’s a palpable defiance in the way she sings here, as though she’s physically pushing back against the masks society has forced her to wear for most of her life: “This is just the way I am.” It’s a powerful phrase, and one that echoes throughout this extraordinary record.

The F16s - All Dogs Go To Heaven North America ‘27
For over a decade, through several iterations and releases, Chennai, India-based four-piece the F16s have been steadily refining their vision. From their 2013 debut, Kaleidoscope, and 2014’s Nobody’s Gonna Wait, to 2016’s full-length breakthrough, Triggerpunkte, 2019’s ode to companionship, WKND FRNDS, and 2021’s searing Is It Time to Eat the Rich, Yet?, their vision has grown in maturity and gravity—as evidenced by thirty million Spotify streams and coverage in Pitchfork, Stereogum, BrooklynVegan, and Variety. A fixture on the festival circuit, the band played the inaugural Lollapalooza Mumbai in 2023 alongside personal heroes the Strokes, as well as Bandlands Music Festival with Amyl and the Sniffers and the War on Drugs, and Baybeats Singapore with Otoboke Beaver. Their sold-out Rock n Roll Is Dead Tour of India cemented the band’s place as a once-in-a-lifetime live powerhouse. Selective in process, calculated in execution, and blessed with the solitude of the hills, the F16s are pleased to present their second full-length album, All Dogs Go to Heaven. The ten tracks, shaped by personal growth and kinship, explore the uncomplicated ways people can exist alongside one another. It’s the sound of a band still moving, still shedding, still becoming.
