No photography
of any kind (still camera, video recorder, motion picture
camera) is allowed in the museum, except as per the Lowe's
policy. This policy exists to ensure that works of art are
not subjected to the adverse effects of accumulated light
damage; to protect copyright, whether owned by the Lowe Art
Museum or by another entity; and to provide quality control
for images reproduced from the Lowe’s collections.
The museum allows visitors to sketch in the galleries using
pencil only. Inks, paints, water, and other media are prohibited.
Copyists must vary in size from the Lowe’s original
in both dimensions by at least three inches. Due to restrictions
of U.S. Copyright Law, copying of modern and contemporary
American and European works on display in the Tobin and Beaux
Arts Galleries is not allowed. Visitors may not sketch works
of art on loan to the museum, or works in temporary exhibitions
on display in the Green Gallery or Friends of Art Gallery.
Work areas must be a minimum of four feet away from any artwork.
Copyists may not closely approach any work of art with drawing
materials in hand. Upon completing their work, visitors must
make sure that the areas in which they have been working are
completely clean.
STUDENT PHOTOGRAPHY REQUESTS: Students who
need images of works on display for student papers and projects
may complete a Student Photography Request Form, which is
available at the Lowe's reception desk. This form is only
for use by students currently enrolled in a course who need
an image for a student paper or for study/research purposes.
Please be sure to read all instructions carefully and complete
the form in its entirety.
For more information regarding collections research, photography
and copying of works on display please contact the Museum
Registrar.
