In addition, renter must provide a valid credit card number to the Museum at the time of signing the contract in case additional charges are incurred that exceed the original deposit.

ADDITIONAL COSTS:

Because of the staff requirements, the fee for the relocation of any artwork in any gallery is $25 per piece. Artworks exceeding 50 lbs, excluding pedestals, cannot be moved for rentals. Installations cannot be moved. Renters must provide the Museum at least two weeks’ notice to move and/or remove any artwork. The GMoA Executive Director must approve all artwork relocation requests.

• The GMoA reserves the right to bill the renter for any additional cleaning expenses that exceed the cost of the deposit

The renter is liable for any damages to artwork or Museum property on display, regardless of whether the damage was caused by guests, caterers, or anyone else hired by the renter. If needed, the Renter is responsible for paying the Greenville Museum of Art all its collection costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

• Option One renters must provide proof of event liability insurance to GMoA ($1,000,000 policy) for the event day. Proof must be provided by the time of contract signing.

Renters who fail to set up, begin, end, and clean up their space in the contracted time window will be assessed an additional hourly charge. The listed hourly rate will be charged at any time over the designated rental period. This penalty will be initially deducted from the renter’s deposit, with the difference charged to the credit card number provided at the signing of the rental contract.

• Rentals made within 14 days of the rental date will incur a Last-Minute Rental Fee of $75 for a half-day rental and $150 for a full-day rental.
