Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

The UW Art Museum always has free admission.
No, the parking lot at the Centennial Complex is free. However, the lot is monitored, so be sure to sign in at the vehicle registry at the Visitor Services Desk in order to avoid receiving a parking ticket.
While both share the same building, the Centennial Complex, they are quite different. The American Heritage Center (AHC) is an archive and research facility and is a separate entity from the Art Museum. The Art Museum collects and preserves only fine art objects and artifacts, with a primary focus on exhibitions, including contemporary art.
Photography in the galleries will be allowed on portable handheld devices only. Photography intended for reproduction will be permitted by the lender for purposes of promotion and / or publishing in conjunction with the exhibition only. Flash photography is prohibited in order to protect the art.
The majority of public programs hosted by the Art Museum are free and you don’t need a ticket, you can simply show up. Our opening receptions are also free and open to the public.
The Art Museum does not have a list of appraisers or conservators. You may search for an appraiser using the ASA's Find an Appraiser tool or find a conservator by visiting the American Institute for Conservation's website.
The Art Museum Exhibitions Review Committee meets quarterly to review all exhibition proposals that are received. Details about what to include in your proposal can be found on our website.
Since we are unable to accept or hold any artwork prior to Collections Advisory Committee approval, please do not drop off or send any original artwork. Instead, submit an image of the object and a close-up image of any signatures with all pertinent information. More information is available here. 

As much as we would love to accept all donations, not all gifts fit within our scope and mission, and the Art Museum and the University of Wyoming have the right to refuse gifts or bequests.
We currently have a portion of our collection digitized and available to view online here.

You can also fill out a research request form and email it to Director of Curatorial Affairs, Michelle Sunset. The more detail you can provide on the research request form, the better we can respond to your inquiry. Please allow two weeks to receive a response.

Curators are often traveling or heavily scheduled, so an appointment is absolutely necessary. When making an appointment, it is important to state the reason for your call.  In many cases, questions can be answered with a little research on your part, or somewhere on our website. You can also send an email to the front desk (uwartmus@uwyo.edu) and they can forward your message to the appropriate staff member.
