Art After Dark

Docents discuss works in theNorton’s collection and special exhibitions. 

Pick up your tour wristband at the Reception Desk one hour before the tour.

Tom Sachs is a New York-based artist whose genre defying work recreates modern icons using everyday materials, showing all the work that goes into producing an object-a reversal of modernization’s trend towards products with cleaner, simpler, and more perfect edges. The scars and imperfections in his sculptures and paintings tell the story of how they came into being, removing them from the realm of miraculous conception. Coinciding with his exhibition Spaceships at Acquavella Palm Beach, Sachs will speak to his process and the rituals that allow him to create the several works in his oeuvre on view at the Norton, spanning paintings, boomboxes, and a towering outdoor sculpture.

Space is limited and tickets are available at the Reception Desk one hour before program.

Cost: Museum Admission / Members FREE

Inspired by the quilted artwork of Faith Ringgold, create your own mini Crazy Quilt with Norton Teaching Artist, Aurora Rincon.

To the Victorians, the word “crazy” not only meant wild, but broken or crazed into splinters – a good description to the look the various triangles and other odd shapes give these quilts. Although “crazy” style quilts may appear haphazard at first, they are each carefully planned. The Crazy Quilt is a patchwork technique to make a quilt using scraps of a variety of fabrics.

Browse through the locally produced goods from Black-owned businesses, like delicious hot sauces from Helen’s Fire Sauce and African apparel and accessories from All About Us.
