Christina - I'm curious about your new policy allowing photography in the exhibition spaces. It is something we would like to do as well, but are often restricted by clauses in the exhibition contracts and loan forms we sign. Have you been successful in negotiating the removal of these clauses or do you consider photographs for personal use outside of these restrictions?
Thanks, Danielle On 5/7/10 1:33 PM, "Christina DePaolo" <Christinad at SeattleArtMuseum.org> wrote: Hi, SAM recently updated our photography policy to allow visitor to take pictures in the collection galleries for personal use. This is a big shift for us and a good one, to acknowledge that sharing images through social networking is an integral part of the visitor experience. I know many museums have gone through similar changes recently. If you have, can you contact me at christinad at seattleartmuseum.org<mailto:christinad at seattleartmuseum.org><mailto:christinad at seattleartmuseum.org>? I'd like to know more about your experience. Thank you.
