For my photographer friends and clients: We learned this week that the Alexandria Museum of Art (a business that claims to want to promote visual arts) is now charging $150 for use of their property (even if you just want to take one shot in front of the building).
Now you know. Is it worth it?
UPDATE: The Museum is now reviewing their current policy. You can read where they chimed in on a conversation on my personal Facebook Page, http://www.facebook.com/markeric
Hmm. This is upsetting, especially for a part of the city that is supposed to be struggling to get “back on the map”.
…and an art museum at that… I guess they aren’t about helping artists, only making money. Pretty sure the “PHOTOSHOOTS IN FRONT OF OUR BUILDING” account won’t see much green…
I do know that the Museum is under new management/leadership. But I agree, this is pretty ridiculous. I can understand charging for photoshoots inside the museum, but outside? What about tourists who think the building is cool? Is there going to be a guy monitoring the parking lot for people with cameras? I’m pretty disappointed with the AMOA. Thanks for sharing Mark
