The Norton would like to showcase your creations at our celebratory Gala.

Join us for a series of open studios where you will learn about the rich Mexican art tradition of alebrije sculptures and then make your own uniquely designed alebrije.

Families and community groups are all welcome to participate in this 90 minute workshop. For your participation, you'll receive free admission to the special exhibition Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and Mexican Modernism from the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection and a Mexican Modernism family art kit.

The Norton Museum of Art’s Gala is a yearly fundraising event which supports the Museum and all the programs that we bring to young people throughout the year. We can’t do it without you!

After Gala all objects will go back to their creator. For information on workshops and on how to redeem your creation after its display, email [email protected]

Stiller Auditorium

Screening of Los Olvidados (The Young and the Damned), the Luis Buñuel film from 1950. A group of juvenile delinquents live a violent and crime-filled life in the festering slums of Mexico City, and the morals of young Pedro are gradually corrupted and destroyed by the others. 

When Luis Buñel's Los Olvidados screened in Mexico in 1950, it met with widespread criticism. Because of its neo-realism, it wasn't fully accepted until he won the 1951 Cannes Best Director award. The film's surrealistic elements share something with Kahlo's vision, but the overriding naturalism makes for an interesting distinction from Mexican modernism. 

This screening will be followed by a post-screening discussion led by Karen Davis, a film historian and lecturer who has led film discussions at the Movies of Delray and Lake Worth, The Living Room Theatre in Boca Raton, a moderator for The Cinema Club in Deerfield Beach, and a past lecturer (Hollywood Musicals) at The Norton Museum. A former director of the Palm Beach Jewish Film Festival and the PB Film Series, she has been an advisor to and film programmer for other film festivals.
