What do the Rental Fees include?
The rental fee includes room rental and initial setup and use of tables and chairs. On-site event staff is also provided to ensure your event runs smoothly from setup to cleanup. Museum staff members do not handle or set up any rented or personal items brought in, such as flower arrangements, sound systems, guest books, party favors, programs, food, beverages, or payment to vendors.
Is parking provided?
The Charles Allis Art Museum is located in an urban neighborhood and does not have onsite parking. Street parking is available where posted. Please ask the Events Manager for parking options. Valet parking may be arranged with an outside vendor for a fee.
What is your music policy?
Charles and Sarah Allis built their home in the residential Prospect Avenue neighborhood, and donated their home to Milwaukee as an art museum for the benefit of us all. Museum leadership is committed to continuing the Allis legacy of being good neighbors — and our music policy comes out of this tradition. Amplified music is welcome inside the museum. It must end promptly at the agreed-upon time and no later than 10:30 p.m. We strictly adhere to this policy to insure not only the success of your event but also our future programming. Your business is important to us. We look forward to working with you to create the exceptional events we are known for, while respecting our neighbors.
Can I have my event in the Courtyard and Garden?
We invite you to use the garden for your event for photography and for guests to enjoy. Use of the courtyard and garden for private events can be included in your rental contract.
Will you hold a date for me?
A date is only confirmed with a signed contract and a deposit. Deposits are non-refundable.
What are your beverage service policies?
Beverage service is provided by our exclusive in-house beverage service. Package pricing and further information are available by filing out the event inquiry form here.
