The GCMA considers its facility, first and foremost, to be used for the exhibition and educational mission of a professional, accredited art museum. The primary goal is the security and care of the collection and art on loan. For this reason stringent facility use guidelines and rental rules are meant to protect GCMA’s artistic mission, while assuring a unique event experience for the public. The Museum exhibition schedule will affect the floor plan layout of all events.
Events may not include lighted candles, dancing (except in the courtyard) or food preparation on site. Deliveries and set-up by caterers or of rental items can take place only after the museum’s closing time of 4 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday and must be coordinated through the Public Relations Coordinator.
The rental fee covers gallery security, general maintenance of the event space, and one-half hour of set-up and tear-down time over and above the four-hour rental. The fee does not include food or beverage, catering service charges, tax, labor charges, tenting, or rental of any other miscellaneous equipment.
Individuals and organizations may rent designated areas in GCMA’s facility for private functions with the following exceptions: 1) Political and social demonstrations; 2) Any type of fundraising events where revenues are generated for individuals, corporate or non-profit organizations.
No food or drink is permitted in the auditorium.
