Photo and Video Policy

We highly encourage visitors to document and share their experiences at the Gantt Center. To preserve the integrity of our exhibitions & programming and maintain a respectful environment for all guests, photography and videography are permitted only in accordance with the guidelines outlined below. Please take a moment to review our policy before capturing images or video.

Visitors & Guests

• Photography is permitted for personal, noncommercial use only with small handheld cameras/devices.
• Flash photography is not permitted.
• Tripods, monopods, Gimbals, and other camera extensions such as selfie sticks are not permitted.
• Drones of any kind are not permitted.
• Photography of certain works on view at the Center may be prohibited. A no-photography symbol or signage will be posted where applicable.
• Photography must be conducted without disruption to other visitors, Center operations, or limitation to the accessibility of exhibitions, entrances/exits, doorways, and high-traffic areas.

Personal Photo/Videography

Staged photo/videography, whether conducted independently or with a hired professional photo/videographer, is not permitted within the Gantt Center without prior approval. Requests for staged photo/videography must be approved by Center management or coordinated through the appropriate channels, where applicable, such as the MODA Digital Arts Studio.

Photography, Video & Media Use

To help share the stories and experiences of our community, the Gantt Center may photograph or record visitors during programs, events, and general visitation. These images and recordings may be used in print and digital promotional materials or shared with media partners. Attendance at the Gantt Center constitutes consent to the use of a visitor's image or likeness for these purposes.

Press Photography

Members of the media must make arrangements for all photo and video shoots in advance, and must be escorted by a staff member at all times or have permission from Marketing + Communications to shoot independently. To schedule your visit, email the Marketing + Communications group or call (704) 547-3700. Photo shoot requests that cannot be staffed will be declined.
