Curatorial Councils

The Norton Museum of Art has four Curatorial Councils that support the Museum’s five collecting areas: American, Chinese, Contemporary, European, and Photography. By joining one or more of the Norton’s Curatorial Councils, you can engage with like-minded peers and enjoy exclusive opportunities to participate in the Museum’s acquisition process, attend private events, interact with artists, art professionals, and Norton curators, and expand your knowledge of the Museum and the art world. The opportunity to participate in the Norton’s Curatorial Councils is exclusive to Norton Circle and Chairman’s Circle Members and the Board of Trustees. Council support is made possible above and beyond annual Museum membership. A Norton Circle-level Museum membership ($2,500+) is required to join Curatorial Councils at the Norton.

For more information regarding the Curatorial Councils, please contact the Development Office at (561) 832-5196 x1116.
