Visitors are welcome to take casual photography and video using hand-held devices at the Blanton, unless the galleries or Blanton staff indicates otherwise.
In order to protect the art, we don’t allow flash photography, tripods, monopods, or selfie sticks.
Wedding, family, and special event portraiture, or photoshoots involving a paid photographer must be arranged with our Special Events team.
These photoshoots are scheduled on Mondays only, when the museum is closed to the public, and most require rental fees. Get in touch at events@blantonmuseum.org.
The PR/Marketing department handles photography and filming requests for editorial usage. You can reach us at penny.snyder@blantonmuseum.org.
Please note that many works of art in our collection and on view at the Blanton, including Ellsworth Kelly’s Austin, are copyrighted and require special permissions to photograph and publish imagery of.
