The Albright-Knox Art Gallery offers an exquisite setting of art and architecture for a special, memorable event. Our buildings – one neoclassical, one modern – are the perfect location for a private party or corporate event, while the elegant, intimate spaces of muse and the Sculpture Garden are ideal for meetings and special events.

Facility rental fees are discounted 10% as a benefit of Gallery membership at the $300 level and above, or not-for-profit status. All facility fees directly support the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and include admission fee, guided tour (docent or audio tours), parking, and security.

The Gallery does not allow wedding receptions or ceremonies. You are welcome to take photographs on the outside of the building, on the Hoyt Lake side of the Gallery only, on a first-come, first-served basis.

Our caterer will gladly accommodate your tastes. To request a catering menu, please contact our Events Coordinator at 716.270.8274.

Large conferences may be accommodated on Mondays, depending on availability.
