Rental Rates:

GMoA offers dynamic rental options to accommodate the unique needs of every event. Access to the Museum’s parking lot and bathrooms is readily available for all options. Access to the GMoA catering kitchen is available in most cases except where the operation of one event infringes on the operations of a previously scheduled, simultaneous event.

Deposits will be returned via mail within 10 days after the event if the space is properly cleaned and free of any damages. The rental fee must be paid in full within 14 days of the event and may be refunded except for the deposit up to 14 days before the event. In addition, renter must provide a valid credit card number to the Museum at the time of signing the contract in case additional charges are incurred that exceed the original deposit.

Additional Costs:

• The GMoA reserves the right to charge the renter using the credit card on file for any cleaning expenses that exceed the cost of the deposit.

• The fee for the relocation of any artwork in any gallery is $25 per artwork. Installations and wall-hung artworks cannot be moved. Ask GMoA staff for clarification on artwork that can be moved, and renters must provide GMoA staff with at least two weeks’ notice to move and/or remove any artwork.

• The renter is liable for any damages caused to artwork or museum property during their rental, regardless of whether the damage was caused by guests, caterers, or other contractors hired by the renter.

• Option 1 renters must provide proof of event liability insurance to GMoA ($1,000,000 policy) for the event day. Proof must be provided by the time of contract signing.

• Renters who exceed their contracted time window, whether for event setup, during the event, or event clean up will be charged an additional hourly charge for each hour accrued. This charge will be initially deducted from the renter’s deposit, with the difference charged to the credit card on file.

• Rentals made within 14 days of the rental date will incur a Last-Minute Rental Fee of $75 for a half-day rental and $150 for a full-day rental.
