Artists can sell work through Krasl’s gift shop consignment program, the Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff, and Art Markets. Availability and application schedules vary.

Our gift shop and events such as the Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff and Art Markets provide opportunities to purchase unique, quality artworks. Sometimes, exhibition artworks are for sale as well. Please inquire at the welcome desk if you are interested in purchasing exhibition artwork.
KAC is unable to appraise works of art. Professional standards of ethics prohibit any museum from authenticating or providing a monetary appraisal of artworks. A great place to get started online in finding a professional is at appraisers.org.
Sometimes it’s okay to have food and beverages in the galleries. Other times, exhibitions require that food and beverages remain in the lobby.  Please check with KAC staff before entering the galleries.
Some exhibitions allow for photography. To be sure it’s okay to photograph the artwork, please check with staff before taking pictures.
Yes, you may sketch and draw in the galleries with pencil; however, some exhibitions may restrict sketching and drawing. Please check with staff to be sure it’s okay. The KAC’s outdoor sculptures are available any time for you to sketch and draw at your convenience!
Artwork may be for sale, depending on the exhibition. Please inquire at the welcome desk or email curatorial@krasl.org.
KAC offers many opportunities to help foster engagement with artwork, including camps, classes, our Teen Arts Council, and free Family Days and Nights.  Beyond programs, try the following strategies to help spark children’s imagination and curiosity about art:
Ask them what they see in the painting, or what the artwork brings to mind when they view it.
Pose like the images or sculptures.
Create a story about the artworks.
Imagine being part of the art and what they would see, feel, hear and do if they were part of the artworks.
Let them create a drawing of the artworks.
Depending on the class, it may be possible to register a child who is older/younger than the age/grade range listed. Please check with the education department at education@krasl.org prior to registering your child.
Since our classes run based on tuition paid at registration, we are unable to prorate classes.
If your ceramics were created in one of our classes or as part of your KAC Clay Artist Guild membership, we would be happy to fire your ceramics.

Contact the Education Department at education@krasl.org before registering to discuss your child’s support needs and available class or camp accommodations.
