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...
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
