Join us for a special conversation with Willie Birch as we celebrate the opening of our latest exhibition, *Willie Birch: Stories to Tell*. The first-ever career retrospective of this renowned artist, the exhibition brings together groundbreaking works from 1968 to the present that chronicle his unique vision of Black American life and the interconnected nature of global art forms. Russell Lord, Chief of Curatorial Affairs, Norman Rockwell Museum, will lead a discussion with Birch on his work across decades as an artist, community organizer, and cultural provocateur.
