I work in a gallery located on a University campus within one of the academic college buildings (we do not have our own separate building). I have been frequently asked when giving tours if we accept donations, which of course we do but simply do not have a formal station in the gallery to receive them. I am planning on redesigning my registration stand/brochure rack and hoping to incorporate a donation area with envelopes and a slotted locked space (not clear acrylic, so no one could see how many donations have been made that day). The Dean of the College has apprehensions about this and is afraid it will look tacky. I reminded him that the other galleries associated with the University have donation boxes by the door and I am doing this in response to visitor queries, but he is not sufficiently reassured. I wonder if any of you could offer opinions or information that would back my assertions. Thanks, as always, for your fabulous help.
