Media Photo and Film Shoots

Once a photo or film shoot has been approved, the photographer must be accompanied by an Arts Center staff member if using anything on a stand, such as a tripod or lights. Media may take photos or film unaccompanied if not using stands, provided the shoot does not disrupt our visitors’ museum experience. Exterior photography is also allowed unaccompanied.
