Third Party Activity Policy

THIRD PARTY ACTIVITY POLICY

Third-party commercial activity is prohibited on Heritage Museums & Gardens’ (HMG) property. This includes outside companies, groups, or individuals conducting sales or holding programs for which participants have paid a fee that utilize HMG’s grounds, facilities, or collections.

Exceptions may be made in cases of corporate sponsorship, program partnership, or outside program arrangements made through our Group Sales & Functions Department.

Corporate Sponsorships: HMG offers opportunities for businesses to fulfill their marketing and business objectives through sponsorship, which may include opportunities for on-site presence. Contact Greg Wobst, Director of Development, at gwobst@heritagemuseums.org for more information.

Program Partnerships: Outside organizations or individuals wishing to host a class, workshop, or other program activity at HMG that is aligned with HMG’s mission and that plans to use HMG’s grounds, facilities, or collections (e.g. a photography class or plein air painting workshop) may contact Heather Mead, Chief Program Officer, at hmead@heritagemuseums.org to discuss the possibility of engaging in a co-producing partnership arrangement that includes equitable sharing of resources, revenue, and promotion.

Scheduling Outside Programs through Group Sales and Functions: Outside organizations or individuals wishing to host a class, workshop, or other program activity at HMG (e.g. a photography class or plein air painting workshop) for which they wish to use HMG’s grounds, facilities, or collections and for which they wish to solely offer the content may contact Jennifer Lepage, Manager of Group Sales & Functions at jlepage@heritagemuseums.org in advance to make a request. Requests are subject to approval based on review of proposed program content to determine that it is appropriate to HMG and does not compete with planned HMG activity. All outside program activity must comply with all HMG policies and must meet financial requirements as determined by the Manager of Group Sales & Functions, which typically include payment of group admission for program participants and a 15% commission paid to HMG on program registration fees charged to participants by the third-party.
