Beyond its digital appeal, this project also supports a worthy cause. The Rockwell Museum will use the proceeds from the NFT sales to advance its mission. It involves increasing public access to Rockwell’s iconic works, nurturing emerging illustrators, and upholding the artist’s rich heritage under the stewardship of the Rockwell Family.

Spanning much of the last century, Norman Rockwell’s artistry vividly portrayed American life and values. His beloved illustrations depict a mosaic of daily experiences. “Studio Sessions” aims to showcase these moments specifically, looking into the preliminary sketches, photography sessions, and studies that led to each masterpiece. Moreover, each NFT purchase comes with a limited-edition museum-quality print.

The director of the Rockwell Museum, Norton Moffatt, conveyed the museum’s excitement, stating, “Our move into digital art editions marks a pivotal point in our pledge to uphold and honor Norman Rockwell’s legacy. It’s a significant step in both art and culture.”
