Would the Museum be interested in acquiring works of art or accept proposals for exhibitions?
The Jewish Museum\'s curatorial staff is always interested in reviewing work for acquisition and exhibition. However, due to the volume of submissions we regret that we cannot do so in person, nor can we accept original art objects for consideration without making prior arrangements. If you would like to acquaint the staff with your proposal and submit it for either exhibition or acquisition review, please click here for a listing of procedures that should be followed.
