Security, Cleanup, and Parking Fees

Security
Security staff will be present during events involving Gallery Spaces at all times. The cost of security for each event will be determined by assessing which gallery spaces will be accessible, the event timeline, the estimated number of guests, and the specific nature of the event.

Clean-up
All events involving food REQUIRE reservation of the Museum's porter service. Service fees will vary based on size, duration, and scope of event. Please do keep in mind that security will need to stay to keep the Museum open until cleaning is completed, and plan accordingly. If using Kemper Art Museum tables (see Reservation Form), Museum staff will assist with setup and breakdown.

Parking
The event date, number of guests, and nature of your event will dictate parking fees and procedures. Parking needs must be planned with Event Coordinator (and Washington University Parking Facilities, if applicable) at the time of your reservation.

Payment / Cancellation
Rentals require a $500 deposit at time of rental agreement confirmation with the balance to be billed at the completion of the event. Payment for all campus department rentals will be charged to the appropriate department. Cancellations must be made in writing and received 30 days prior to the event date. Cancellations received less than 30 days of the event date will incur a cancellation fee of $100.

Damage Policy
A credit card (or Department Number listed above for all Washington University-affiliated organizations) is required to reserve all rentals. In the event of damage resulting from an event to the facility, artwork, or grounds, the Museum reserves the right to charge up to $250 to the card/department on file following the event to cover damages. This provision is not meant to constitute the only remedy available to Museum.
