Student Photography Requests:

If you are a UNCG student and are interested in filming or photographing in the Weatherspoon, please visit this LINK to fill out our request form.

NOTE: Museum staff will do their best to accommodate requests while considering space availability, exhibition permissions, and staffing and labor logistics, among other things.

Journalist requesting images or photography to accompany media coverage of Weatherspoon Art Museum exhibitions, collections, or events may contact Loring Mortensen, head of communications, at lamorten@uncg.edu.

We welcome pencils and non-permanent drawing materials in the galleries.

Currently, Weatherspoon spaces are fully scheduled with museum exhibitions, programming, and events, so we are unable to accommodate facility rental requests from UNCG groups that are not connected to museum programming. For more information, please contact m_mendez3@uncg.edu.

Museum staff cannot answer questions referring to the value, provenance, or attribution of any work of art. As part of the museum’s educational mission, curators may discuss general matters of connoisseurship, such as relative importance, quality, and condition. However, the Weatherspoon and its staff make no representations or guarantees of any kind concerning artwork.
