Mission

CAMH presents extraordinary and thought-provoking arts programming and exhibitions.

Programs

1 program

To further the Museum's mission, CAMH produces a series of educational and outreach programs to encourage a greater understanding of contemporary art. These programs include public school outreach and tours, family events, scholarships, concerts, and lectures, including a distinguished artist lecture series. The Education department hires graduate students and local artists to work as tour guides and facilitators for each exhibition. The Museum's Teen Council, made up of area high school students, develops small exhibits and programming relating to current exhibitions. CAMH has expanded its accessibility to include American Sign Language tours, tours in multiple languages, and exhibition information in Spanish and English.
