THE ART OF ENTERTAINING

To enhance your experience at the Gallery, we offer audio tours and/or guided docent tours of the permanent collection and special exhibitions. The cost of this service is included in our usage fees. A guided docent tour beyond the 1962 Building may require a small additional security fee.

Our Events Coordinator is available to answer your questions and to assist you in designing the perfect, signature event. The Events Coordinator will be available until all set-up and audio/visual needs meet with your expectations.
