Our museum is trying to develop a new revenue stream, renting the
building to outside organizations for receptions for a fee. We have
had a wedding reception here and a few corporate parties. All events
must follow the same rules we follow when holding a reception in our
galleries.
A local politician has requested the use of our building for a
campaign event. He would pay a fee, just like any other member of the
public or corporation. But is there a perceived endorsement if his
event is here? Or would we be discriminating against him if we
disallow his use of the facility?
We do not have a formal written policy about the rental of the
building at this time.
Any feedback or information about how your museums have handled this
type of situation, or your museum's rental policies would be greatly
appreciated.
Thank you,
Lauren Chyle
Curator
Cayuga Museum of History and Art
