Photography
Taking and sharing of photos is encouraged for personal use only. Permissions will vary based on the exhibition as per the artist’s copyright. The use of flash photography, tripods, and “selfie sticks” are not permitted. Videography is not permitted. Commercial photography, including film requiring equipment or exclusive use of an area is prohibited without a permit.
Drawing in the Galleries
Drawing in the galleries is a centuries old tradition. We hope you will be so inspired here at the Museum. While visitors are welcome to sketch in the galleries, we ask that you use only pencil (no ink or paint) and sketchbooks no larger than 8 ½ x 11.
Food and Beverages
Food and beverages are not allowed in the Museum galleries. Outside food and beverages are not permitted on the Museum campus.
Respect the Art
“Don’t touch, climb or sit on, kick, hit, or lick the art” (unless otherwise directed by the artist or Museum.) We love art and know that you do, too. So, please help us protect the work. Artwork can be very fragile and easily damaged by just the oils in your fingers and hands. We recommend keeping an arm’s length distance from the work.
School Groups
For P-12 school group tours, please email groups@sarasota.art

We would be happy to reunite you with your lost items. Please email lostandfound@sarasota.art
