Lectures & Exhibits

Hollywood has been a long-time influencer in American fashion - and fashion designers have influenced Hollywood. It is truly a symbiotic relationship. Paramount Pictures has been at the forefront of defining style in motion pictures and television for over 100 years. Randall Thropp brings a new exhibit to the Decorative Arts Center of Ohio celebrating studio-created costumes as well as purchased fashions used on camera.

The Wagnalls Memorial Foundation is pleased to announce a new traveling museum exhibit: Norman Rockwell in the 1940s: A View of the American Homefront.

The Wagnalls Memorial Foundation is proud to feature self-taught watercolor artist, Pamela Montgomery, in our new local artist gallery. Pamela’s art work captures her love for traditional settings. Living in the country in a historical brick home overlooking a nature preserve, has inspired her work. She is taken by the memories and stories shared of the “old days” – a more peaceful, quite time when people worked together and spent time sharing life.
