Phoenix Art Museum FlickrMeet September 9, 2008

This is a photo stroll for members of Flickr. The museum is free every Tuesday from 3–9 PM, so this is a no-cost event! The museum's art and architecture are utterly photogenic, and the staff allow you to take photos of anything the museum owns. Flash is, of course, forbidden in the museum. Here is the Museum's photography policy, taken from their web site, http://www.phxart.org/visit/

"Still photography in existing light is permitted for personal, non-commercial use. However, tripods, flash, and movie and video cameras are prohibited.

Works on loan may not be photographed. They can be identified by the object's number on the wall label; any number preceded by an "L" (for example, L1.2004) is a work on loan and may not be photographed. Some exhibitions have special photography limitations. Read more about our photography policy below.

Photography Policy

We encourage visitors to take photographs in the Museum for their personal enjoyment. To protect the objects being photographed, the copyright privileges of their creators, and the safety of our visitors, however, there are certain restrictions on taking photographs in the Museum.

Flashes and tripods, as well as movie and video cameras are prohibited. Works on loan to the Museum or in exhibitions in the Featured Exhibition galleries may not be photographed. A work on loan to the Museum may be identified by the "L-number" on its accompanying label next to the work of art (for example L1.2001). Some exhibitions may have special photography policies.

Still photography of the permanent collection, taken in existing light and without flash, is permitted on the condition that the photographs are solely for personal, non-commercial use.

Photographs may not be published, sold, reproduced, transferred, distributed or otherwise commercially exploited in any manner whatsoever. The Museum reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to withhold and/or withdraw permission to photograph on its premises or to reproduce photographs of objects in its collection.

If you are interested in obtaining a publication-quality photograph of an object in our collection, either for publication or study purposes, please contact the Museum's Registration Department by e-mailing [email protected]. Members of the press should contact the Museum's Public Information Officer at (602) 257-2105 for their photograph needs."
