Description

CAM (the Contemporary Art Museum) was established in 1983 in Raleigh, N.C. as the City Gallery of Contemporary Art to complement other area museums and visual art venues by presenting solely contemporary art. The name change to CAM came in 1996 as part of a plan to ensure long-term viability that included establishing a permanent home. CAM merged with the NC State University College of Design in 2006 to provide unique opportunities for the study, exhibition and interpretation of contemporary art and design. The offices of CAM are currently housed within the College of Design and CAM's programs continue, utilizing spaces throughout the Triangle community.

Mission

CAM will eventually move to a new facility at 409 West Martin Street in Raleigh's redeveloping warehouse district. Adult and family programming will feature a wide range of public programs including lectures, discussions, readings and presentations involving artists, scholars and critics of contemporary art and culture. The result will be a museum filled with energy and imagination and an education and outreach program that promotes a greater understanding of the role of creativity in our everyday lives.
