The Art Center hosts a multitude of special events in it’s galleries. This generates important income that supports Art Center education and exhibition programs. Because of this, all art must be ‘family friendly’. It might appear in someone’s wedding photos or baby shower photos. The Art Center has sole discretion about what it considers ‘family friendly’ and may reject or remove art for any reason. If you are not sure about a piece, simply ask the Exhibitions Coordinator.

I have acquired some artwork and would like to know the value, do you all appraise artwork or purchase art?
