Spaces

Event and space rental inquiries at the Erie Art Museum are paused through August 4, while we onboard new staff and update our booking procedures. Starting August 5, we'll be ready to accept new reservations for 2026 and 2027 events.

We know this may be inconvenient if you're planning ahead — thank you for your patience while we get things running smoothly. Please check back or call us on or after August 5, and we'll be glad to help you find a date.
