Sponsorship Opportunities The Norton Simon Museum's status as a premier private collection and active exhibition program, plus affiliated foundations, creates strong opportunities for corporate sponsorships, philanthropic gifts, and grant-funded education initiatives. Engage with local Pasadena/LA area businesses and national brands aligned with arts, culture, and education; leverage leadership transitions (new General Counsel) to streamline sponsor agreements and compliance.
Digital Experience With a tech stack centered on web optimization, streaming, and secure forms, the museum is well positioned to expand digital experiences such as virtual tours, livestream lectures, and online collections. Propose a managed service package for website performance, media hosting, and accessibility improvements for educators, remote patrons, and sponsors seeking measurable digital engagement.
Exhibition Partnerships Past loans and special installations demonstrate openness to traveling exhibitions and loan programs. Offer end-to-end services for international loans, insurance, conservation, logistics, and marketing partnerships, plus licensing opportunities for reproductions and digital content to generate revenue and broaden audience reach.
Educational Programs The museum can partner with corporations seeking CSR impact and employee engagement through education programs, school partnerships, and community outreach. Propose sponsorships for school initiatives, educator professional development, family programming, and digital learning resources for remote learners.
