There’s nothing quite like seeing art come alive through the eyes of a young visitor! 🖼️✨
From asking questions to discovering the stories behind the works, museum visits offer opportunities to learn, explore, and connect with art in meaningful ways. We love welcoming students and families into the galleries and watching their curiosity take center stage. Come see what inspires you at the Norton!

The school year has begun once again which means exhaustion seems to be your new best friend. 🥱
Thankfully, The Norton is here to the rescue! Spend some quiet time with us here in the galleries every Thursday through Sunday from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM and take a load off as you venture throughout our spaces and revisit works you love and discover art that speaks to you (in a calming tone of course).

✨ Happy birthday, Dorthea Tanning! ✨
Considered a child prodigy, Tanning had a voracious appetite for reading and drawing. She moved from her small Illinois hometown first to Chicago, then New Orleans, and finally to New York in 1935. Fascinated by the possibilities presented in the 1936 exhibition Fantastic Art, Dada, and Surrealism at The Museum of Modern Art, Tanning began painting highly representational fantasy worlds. Tanning’s self-portrait "Birthday (1942)" caught the attention of art critics, including prominent New York art dealer Julien Levy, and marked her entry into the Surrealist world.
In preparation for Peggy Guggenheim’s highly important Exhibition by 31 Women, 1943, Tanning met Dadaist icon Max Ernst and quickly became part of the band of Dada and Surrealist émigrés in New York. Tanning and Ernst wed in 1946; theirs was a long harmonious marriage, for nine years in Arizona, then in Paris for almost thirty more. During this time Tanning exhibited her paintings widely in France and abroad, while experimenting with prints, costume, set design, and fabric sculpture—twisted figures and partial body parts made from textiles.
Tanning was devastated by Ernst’s death in 1976 and returned to New York in 1980 where she turned to writing due to frail health and wrote two autobiographies, a novel, and several highly acclaimed poems. Her poem “No Palms” was selected for inclusion in The Best American Poetry 2000. She died at the age of 101.

🐾✨ Closing Day Reminder! ✨🐾
Our beloved "Whiskers & Wags: Our Candid Companions" will be closing this Sunday, September August 30th. It’s been such a joy celebrating our four-legged friends through this special showcase!

If your dog or cat is featured in the exhibit, you’re invited to pick up your animal’s photo on Sunday, August 30th from 4:00–5:00 pm. We’ll provide wax paper so you can safely take home the vinyl prints and hang them proudly on your own walls to love for years to come.

Thank you to everyone (two- and four-legged!) who made this exhibit so much fun. 🐶❤️
