To request permission to license images from the Palmer C. Hayden Collection at MAAA for scholarly, academic, educational, institutional, documentary, or nonprofit publications and other uses that include substantive factual references to Palmer Hayden's life and artwork or to the legend of John Henry, please email the details of your request to the museum's Executive Director.

The Museum of African American Art does not grant image license requests for self-published, fictional, promotional, apparel, wearable, decorative, merchandising, misleading, or derogatory uses of images from the museum's collections. At its discretion, MAAA reserves the right to decline image use requests that would create or imply a false association between the requester and artworks in the Palmer C. Hayden Collection at MAAA, or between the requester and the Museum of African American Art.
Accessibility of images from the Palmer C. Hayden Collection at MAAA in the museum's online exhibits, on the Google Arts & Culture platform, or elsewhere on the Internet, does not convey permission for image use and does not at all indicate that the images are in the public domain with regard to copyright. If you do not have an image licensing agreement, you do not have permission to reprint, publish, reproduce, distribute, or otherwise use images from the Palmer C. Hayden Collection at MAAA.
We regularly receive image requests and will respond as quickly as possible, prioritizing those requests that meet the museum's criteria. Please allow a significant amount of lead time so that the museum can properly consider and respond to your image request. Thank you.
