THE SEASON'S SUCCESS WAS REALIZED THROUGH A DYNAMIC SCHEDULE OF EXHIBITIONS AND A DIVERSE CALENDAR OF ENRICHING PROGRAMS. THE NORTON PROUDLY WELCOMED THE PUBLIC WITH 17 SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS AND COLLECTION-BASED PRESENTATIONS, EACH REFLECTING THE DEPTH AND BREADTH OF THE MUSEUM'S FIVE CURATORIAL AREAS. EXHIBITIONS EXPLORED A WIDE RANGE OF THEMES, HISTORIES, CULTURAL NARRATIVES, AND MODES OF SELF-EXPRESSION, SPURRING AN OVERWHELMING PUBLIC RESPONSE FROM VISITORS OF ALL AGES AND BACKGROUNDS. THE NORTON'S 2024-25 ROSTER OF EXHIBITIONS ENCOMPASSED HISTORICAL, MODERN, AND CONTEMPORARY PRACTICES, INVITING VISITORS TO CONSIDER HOW ARTISTS RESPOND TO QUESTIONS OF IDENTITY, PERCEPTION, TRADITION, AND TRANSFORMATION. THESE THEMES WERE EXAMINED THROUGH THREE MAJOR HEADLINING EXHIBITIONS, EACH UNDERSCORING THE MUSEUM'S EFFORTS TO BRING RENOWNED ART FROM NOTABLE NATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND COLLECTIONS TO WEST PALM BEACH. THE FIRST HEADLINING EXHIBITION OF THE SEASON, STRIKE FAST, DANCE LIGHTLY: ARTISTS ON BOXING, PRESENTED OVER 100 WORKS SPANNING FROM THE LATE 19TH CENTURY TO TODAY, OFFERING THE LARGEST COMPREHENSIVE SURVEY OF ARTWORK DEPICTING THE SPORT AND ITS CULTURAL IMPACT.

IN 2024-25, THE NORTON WAS ABLE TO ACHIEVE PRODUCTIVE, SYMBIOTIC PARTNERSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS THROUGH TWO KEY PROGRAMS: AFTERSCHOOL ARTS OUTREACH (AAO) AND THE COMMUNITY ACCESS PROGRAM (CAP). AAO IS A NATIONALLY-RECOGNIZED PROGRAM THAT PARTNERS WITH EIGHT AFTERSCHOOL SITES ACROSS PALM BEACH COUNTY TO BRING ARTS-BASED ACTIVITIES DIRECTLY TO UNDERSERVED AND UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS EVERY WEEK, YEAR-ROUND. LAST YEAR, THIS PROGRAM SERVED OVER 3,800 CHILDREN THROUGH ART WORKSHOPS, FIELD TRIPS TOURS OF THE MUSEUM, AND AN END-OF-YEAR CULMINATING EXHIBITION HOSTED IN THE NORTON'S MARDEN COMMUNITY GALLERY.

THE NORTON IS PROUD TO REPORT THAT SINCE THE INITIATIVE'S INCEPTION IN 2020, CAP HAS GROWN TO INCLUDE OVER 35 LOCAL PARTNERS THAT REACHED OVER 2,800 CONSTITUENTS LAST YEAR. IN 202425, THE NORTON EXPANDED A RANGE OF RECURRING AND NEWLY DEVELOPED EXPERIENCES EXPLORING THE INTERSECTION OF ART AND WELLNESS FOR AUDIENCES OF ALL AGES, ABILITIES, AND BACKGROUNDS. NOW GROUPED UNDER THE NORTON'S WELLNESS INITIATIVES, THESE PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO MEET PARTICIPANTS WHERE THEY ARE THROUGH OFFERINGS SUCH AS FAMILY AUTISM ART WORKSHOPS, SENSORY-FRIENDLY SUNDAYS, ART AFTER DARK WELLNESS NIGHTS, AND MINDFUL MOMENTS. COLLECTIVELY, THESE INITIATIVES WELCOMED MORE THAN 3,000 PARTICIPANTS INTO SPACES INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED FOR THEIR INDIVIDUAL COMFORT, ACCESSIBILITY, AND ENGAGEMENT. THE PROFOUND IMPACT OF THESE PROGRAMS IS MOST CLEARLY CONVEYED IN THE HEARTFELT REFLECTIONS SHARED BY PARTICIPANTS, WHO FREQUENTLY UNDERSCORE WHAT IT MEANS TO BE SEEN, INCLUDED, AND SUPPORTED WITH OPPORTUNITIES THAT PROMOTE SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL, AND PHYSICAL WELLNESS IN NONTRADITIONAL WAYS. THE NORTON VALUES THE MEASURABLE IMPACT OF THESE MISSION-ALIGNED PROGRAMS AND LOOKS FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO OFFER THESE EXPERIENCES TO AUDIENCES IN THE YEARS AHEAD. 285617 381731 MUSEUM GIFT AND BOOK STORE 285617 381731 16556907 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 155 0 1 200 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 43 43 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 FL X THE ORGANIZATION 5618325196 1450 S DIXIE HIGHWAY WEST PALM BEACH FL 33401 BRUCE GENDELMAN CHAIRMAN 6.00 X X 0 0 0 KELLY WILLIAMS VICE CHAIR 4.00 X X 0 0 0 ROGER W FERGUSON JR TREASURER (10/1/24 -

AN ADDITION OF ART TO THE PERMANENT COLLECTION IS MADE EITHER BY GIFT OR THROUGH PURCHASE USING ART ACQUISITION FUNDS. THE ACCEPTANCE AND DISPOSAL OR REMOVAL OF WORKS OF ART IN THE COLLECTION IS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH A FORMAL POLICY ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES IN 2003. PURCHASES FOR THE COLLECTION ARE RECORDED AS EXPENDITURES FOR THE ACQUISITION OF ART OBJECTS IN THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR IN WHICH THE OBJECTS ARE ACQUIRED. PART III, LINE 4: RALPH AND ELIZABETH NORTON ESTABLISHED THE NORTON MUSEUM OF ART AS THE NORTON GALLERY AND SCHOOL OF ART IN 1941. IT WAS FOUNDED ON THE BASIS OF THEIR PRIVATE COLLECTION, WHICH WAS COMPRISED OF A HANDFUL OF OLD MASTER PAINTINGS AND FAR MORE EXTENSIVE HOLDINGS OF FRENCH AND AMERICAN PAINTING, SCULPTURE, AND WORKS ON PAPER, MOST MADE AFTER 1870. BEFORE HIS DEATH IN 1953, NORTON EXPANDED THE COLLECTION TO INCLUDE CHINESE ART, SUCH AS ANCIENT BRONZES AND JADES, CERAMICS, FURNITURE, AND TEXTILES. HIS BEQUEST ADDED MANY MORE WORKS IN EACH OF THESE CATEGORIES TO THE COLLECTION. IN SUBSEQUENT DECADES, ACQUISITIONS FROM ALL SOURCES HAVE ENRICHED THE ORIGINAL COLLECTING AREAS OF EUROPEAN, AMERICAN, AND CHINESE ART IN TERMS OF BREADTH AND DEPTH WHILE CONFORMING TO THE HIGH QUALITATIVE STANDARDS ESTABLISHED BY THE NORTONS. TODAY, THE COLLECTION NUMBERS APPROXIMATELY 8,400 OBJECTS. AMONG THE MOST SOUGHT-AFTER WORKS FOR LOANS TO EXHIBITIONS BOTH HERE AND ABROAD ARE MONET'S "GARDENS OF VILLA MORENO," GAUGUIN'S "CHRIST IN THE GARDEN OF OLIVES," POLLOCK'S "NIGHT MIST, AND OUR THREE O'KEEFFE PAINTINGS. THE NORTON MUSEUM OF ART STRIVES TO PRESERVE, DEVELOP, EXHIBIT AND INTERPRET ITS OUTSTANDING COLLECTION AND TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC THROUGH SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS, PUBLICATIONS AND PROGRAMS. AS A RECOGNIZED LEADER IN THE ARTS IN THE YEARS SINCE ITS FOUNDING, THE NORTON MUSEUM OF ART BRINGS A SIGNIFICANT CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL PRESENCE TO THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND REACHES NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY THROUGH ITS PROGRAMMING AND VISITORS, LOANS OF WORKS OF ART, AND TRAVELING EXHIBITIONS. A PRINCIPAL STRENGTH OF THE NORTON LIES IN ITS PERMANENT COLLECTION SINCE THE QUALITY, DEPTH AND BREADTH OF ITS HOLDINGS ARE USED AS THE BASIS FOR EXHIBITIONS, EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND SCHOLARSHIP. FOR EXAMPLE, SCHOOL AND SUMMER CAMP TOURS INTRODUCE APPROXIMATELY 10,000 K-12 STUDENTS TO WORKS IN THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTION EACH YEAR. NINE MUSEUM COLLECTION THEME TOURS AND FIVE SPECIAL EXHIBITION TOURS ARE AVAILABLE FOR TEACHERS TO CHOOSE FROM, FREE OF CHARGE, ON TOPICS RANGING FROM MEDIEVAL AND RENAISSANCE TREASURES TO THE ART OF SCIENCE AND AFRICAN AMERICAN ART AND CULTURE. THE NORTON COLLECTION IS ALSO THE FOCUS OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS FOR ADULTS. CONCERTS AND PERFORMANCES RELATE TO SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS AND CULTURAL THEMES REPRESENTED BY WORKS IN THE GALLERIES. TOURS, AND TREASURE OF THE MONTH TALKS ALLOW VISITORS TO ENGAGE WITH DOCENTS AND STAFF IN THE GALLERIES IN INFORMAL DISCUSSIONS OF SUBJECTS IN ART AND WORKS ON VIEW. A CLOSER LOOK PROVIDES PUBLIC ACCESS TO LECTURES FOR DOCENT CANDIDATES CONCERNING SPECIFIC WORKS IN THE MUSEUM COLLECTION AND THE HISTORICAL CONTEXTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF THEIR ORIGIN. PART V, LINE 4: THE NORTON'S ENDOWMENT IS ESTABLISHED FOR THE PURPOSES EXPRESSED IN THE MISSION OF THE NORTON. PART X, LINE 2: NORTON IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(C)(3). ACCORDINGLY, NO PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES HAS BEEN RECORDED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

MANAGEMENT ANALYZES TAX POSITIONS IN JURISDICTIONS WHERE IT IS REQUIRED TO FILE INCOME TAX RETURNS. INTEREST AND PENALTIES ATTRIBUTABLE TO INCOME TAXES, IF ANY, ARE INCLUDED IN OPERATING EXPENSES. NO SUCH INTEREST OR PENALTIES WERE RECORDED FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 AND 2024. NORTON IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX EXAMINATIONS FOR YEARS PRIOR TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2022.
