Inventory Policy
Purpose
This policy describes how to check out items/equipment from MoHA, as well as expectations between those who check out items and MoHA Staff. Policies apply to folks who are eligible to check out, which are current Studio Members, Resident Artists, Program Participants, MoHA Family, and community friends. However, there are some exceptions to note:
- Organizers presenting an event at MoHA go through their own rental process with a MoHA Staff member – not the check out process listed below.
- IRL Open Hours checkouts can use the form and be packaged on the fly.
- Studio Members are free to use and return items onsite during the day, but offsite, overnight, and IRL tech check outs should follow this policy.
- MoHA Family program leads must request items for their event and/or artists, not the artist themselves.
Check out requests are fulfilled when possible but not guaranteed.
