ART DONATIONS
Those interested in donating works of art should first contact the Museum Director, Joseph A. Becherer, Ph.D., jbechere@nd.edu or (574) 631-4711 to discuss with him the objects in your collection under consideration for donation to the Snite Museum.
ART EXHIBITIONS OFFERED FOR CONSIDERATION BY THE SNITE MUSEUM: PROGRAM is currently SUSPENDED
As of February 2020, we are not accepting any new exhibition proposals to allow us to plan for Phase I of the new Raclin Murphy Museum of Art.
Please send the exhibition prospectus to the Museum Director, Joseph A. Becherer, Ph.D., at jbechere@nd.edu. It should include 3-6 images of representative works in the exhibition, a brief exhibition description or artist statement, any related fees, an exhibition checklist with images and sizes, and if a one person or group exhibition be sure to include the artist(s) CV.
ART LOAN REQUESTS
In light of our small staff and busy schedule to plan the new Raclin Murphy Museum of Art at Notre Dame, we can only accommodate a small number of select art loan requests. Requests must be submitted to Museum Registrar Victoria Perdomo (vperdomo@nd.edu) at least 8 months in advance of the planned exhibition opening date, and preferably 12 months in advance.
ART SHIPMENTS
All outgoing and incoming art shipments should be scheduled in advance with Victoria Perdomo vperdomo@nd.edu, (574) 631-4727. The September 2017 addition of a security gate on the eastern access road to the Museum has added new complexities to delivery logistics. Use of a box truck or "sprinter" vehicle is preferred over semis due to a new, much narrower, access road. Please contact vperdomo@nd.edu (574) 631-4727 in advance of a delivery to acquire code to the new security gate and revised campus map showing how to get to the museum's loading door. Shipments are accepted between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. EST/EDT
CAMPUS OFFICE ART LOAN PROGRAM FOR THE UND MAIN BUILDING SUSPENDED
New officers/directors are welcome to select a work of art created before 1923 on view in our galleries or in our Selected Works publication. Send your selection to Associate Director Ann Knoll and we will print a high resolution facsimile that you can have matted and framed.
To schedule the removal of any of our loaned works currently installed in the Main Building contact Museum Registrar, Victoria Perdomo (vperdomo@nd.edu; 631-4727).
