Often Pensacola Museum of Art staff are asked to look at an artwork or family heirloom and give our opinion on its value. Our staff members are unable to provide values of objects or give references to specific appraisers due to ethical considerations. The following organizations can help you find a qualified appraiser in your area:

• Appraisers Association of America
• American Society of Appraisers
• International Society of Appraisers

The PMA appreciates the generosity of donors who wish to make gifts of art during their lifetime or through a bequest. Donating artwork requires special attention, and every donation must undergo a formal review process. Please contact the PMA Director, Nicholas Croghan: ncroghan@uwf.edu with any donation inquiries.

PMA staff regularly reviews exhibition proposals from artists and other institutions. Email pma@uwf.edu If you would like to share your portfolio or proposal. There is an annual Members Show, and we also post several Calls for Artist Proposals on our website throughout the year.
