PLEASE NOTE
As an art museum, our exhibitions and displays have first priority. While the Museum will make every effort to accommodate your event as you envision, sculptures, installations and framed or unframed artworks may be installed or reinstalled within the rental space at any time without advance notice to the client. The events manager will notify you of any exhibitions in the rental space and you will be notified of any changes that may have an immediate impact on the layout of your event. It is the client’s responsibility to contact the Akron Art Museum’s Events Manager with details regarding your event.
The Akron Art Museum cannot accommodate children’s birthday party rentals, which include art projects and/or gallery tours, during standard operating hours, but encourages patrons to turn to the other exemplary arts offerings in the Akron community that already fill that need.
