Event Rental

From wedding ceremonies and receptions to cocktail parties and elegant banquets with dinner and dancing, The Speed Art Museum offers one of Louisville’s most unique and beautiful venues for your private event. The museum is well suited for small celebrations or full-fledged affairs with dancing in the Sculpture Court Gallery. We invite you to utilize the entire museum as a beautiful backdrop for your event! Explore the galleries of Kentucky’s oldest and largest art museum, tour one of our special exhibitions, and take your younger guests to our Art Sparks Interactive Children’s Gallery.

Private event space is available for rental on the following evenings: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Events may be scheduled no earlier than 6:00pm to assure privacy. Otherwise, the Museum will be open to the public.

Please contact the Special Events department at 502.634.2701 or email specialevents@speedmuseum.org for rates or to tour the facilities.
