The Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach is a world-class museum with a stunning collection of art from around the world. But did you know that you can enjoy the museum for a discounted price on Fridays?
That is right, every Friday from 5-10pm, The Norton offers Art After Dark, a special event that features discounted admission, live music, arts and crafts, and more!
Admission to Art After Dark is just $10 for adults, $5 for students, and free for kids twelve and under. This is a great deal, especially considering that regular admission to the museum is $18 for adults.
In addition to discounted admission, Art After Dark also features a variety of other activities, including:
- Live music: Every Friday, there is live music from local musicians. The music is usually jazz, but there are also other genres featured from time to time such as Reggae this coming Friday.
- Arts and crafts: There are always art-making activities for kids and adults to enjoy. Norton staff and volunteers lead these activities, and they are a great way to get creative and learn more about art.
- Tours: There are also guided tours of the museum's collection offered during Art After Dark. These tours are a great way to learn more about the art on display.
Here are some tips for planning your Art After Dark visit:
- Arrive early: The museum can get crowded on Friday’s, so it is a good idea to arrive early.
- Wear comfortable shoes: You'll be doing a lot of walking, so make sure you are comfortable. There are benches and chairs around the museum need be.
- Have creative curiosity: Expect the unexpected. The Norton is home to some breathtaking works of art by artist you might know and some you might not. On top of viewing the art, create some of your own and find that child like wonder inside of you.
- Be ready for the weather: The museum is mostly inside, but if you are interested in the sculpture garden, you better prepare for the elements as it tends to rain off and on this time of year.
Overall, I hope you enjoy your Art After Dark visit to The Norton Museum of Art!
