The Cincinnati Art Museum requests that you submit your application for donation at least 45 days in advance. While all donations will be considered, the Cincinnati Art Museum cannot accept every request. 

The museum is unable to make monetary donations, however we do provide select items that can be used for silent auctions, raffles, etc.

The Art Museum does not employ appraisers and cannot offer monetary assessments of artwork. If you are interested in finding an appraiser please visit the International Society of Appraisers. If you are interested in finding a conservator for your piece, please visit American Institute for Conservation.

If you would like one of our curators or a member of our conservation staff to look at a piece of art, CAM Members are invited to participate in our biannual Consult-a-Curator days, where curators and conservators are available to view artwork and provide general information. Become a member to find out more. 

If you are interested in donating a piece of art to the museum, please email images of your piece to [email protected]. A member of the curatorial team will review these images and your description and be back in touch. If you are unable to email images, you may call 513-639-2941 and leave a voicemail.
