Requests:
Exhibitions
May I submit a proposal for an exhibition or the display of my own or another artist’s work? Due to staffing constraints and resource limitations, the Lowe is unable to review unsolicited proposals for the exhibition of artwork on our premises. Kindly refrain from sending such materials, whether in a digital or analogue format, to us.
Art Purchases
Does the museum buy art? Though the museum occasionally purchases art that aligns with its collection priorities and educational objectives, is unable to accept unsolicited proposals for art purchases (whether for or from its collection).
May I donate works of art to the Lowe? While you may offer a work or works of art to the Lowe as a gift, the museum may not be able to accept your proposed donation. Please direct inquiries to: curatoriallowe@miami.edu
How does the Lowe review potential donations? As an accredited member of the American Alliance of Museums, the Lowe carefully reviews all proposed donations to ensure that they meet the criteria outlined in our Collections Management Policy and are compliant with both best practices for the museums and the law.
Authentication and Valuations
Can the museum appraise my artwork or artifacts? In accordance with best practices for museums, the Lowe is unable to appraise or authenticate works of art or artifacts on behalf of the general public. A professional appraiser or auction house may be able to assist you with your needs.
Event Rentals
Is the museum available for rental events? Yes, though we are not able to accommodate all rentals requests (including, notably, personal celebrations, such as weddings, birthdays, retirements, and Bar/Bat Mitzvahs). Please click here on facility rentals for further details.
