IDEA at the Norton
The Norton Museum of Art is committed to advancing inclusion, diversity, equity, and access (IDEA) across every facet of its mission and internal culture. We embrace the multiplicity of our communities, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, age, family structure, creed, ability, or socioeconomic status. The Norton continues to diversify its collection, exhibitions, and programs while fostering efforts that advance equity through access and inclusion—ensuring all visitors, staff, and community members feel welcome and empowered.
Key initiatives supporting these goals include:
Museum Inclusion Committee
Museum Inclusion Committee
The Museum Inclusion Committee is a staff-led group dedicated to advancing the Norton’s commitment to IDEA across both internal culture and the visitor experience. The committee provides a collaborative forum for staff to share perspectives, identify opportunities, and support initiatives that foster a welcoming, respectful, and inclusive environment for colleagues, visitors, volunteers, artists, and community members. In partnership with Museum leadership, the committee promotes awareness, encourages dialogue, and provides input on policies, programs, training, and practices aligned with the Norton’s IDEA goals.
Wage Equity
Wage Equity
As part of the Norton’s commitment to wage equity and a supportive workplace, the Museum’s minimum wage of $17 per hour exceeds current Palm Beach County and Florida minimum wage requirements, setting the foundation of an equitable pay structure. This reflects the Museum’s ongoing effort to provide competitive, equitable compensation and support the financial well-being of staff across the institution.
