Mission

For over sixty-five years the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (CAMH) has brought the Houston community together to discuss contemporary culture and society through contemporary art and education programs. It is CAMH's mission to create a space for contemporary art and contemporary society to converge, incorporating contemporary art into the everyday lives of our audiences through exposure, education, events and programming, all created and structured to make art more tangible and underscore its relevance and importance within our society.

About

CAMH resources are dedicated to organizing, presenting, and touring exhibitions that showcase some of the most seminal art of today. These exhibitions are documented in publications designed for use by both scholars and the general public. Each exhibition is accompanied by educational and outreach programs that complement the exhibition and make the art on view more accessible to both experienced museum-goers and new audiences. As one of the nations oldest non-collecting museums and one of Houstons first major art institutions, CAMH plays a vital role in shaping the regions cultural community by showcasing work of regional artists and by bringing the works of national and international artists to the city.This past fiscal year, the Museum featured six exhibitions with accompanying exhibition catalogues and continued its Art on the Lawn series. In celebrating regional talent, CAMH continued its initiative to feature Texas artists, including Right Here, Right Now: San Antonio. The Museum balanced its celebration of the local with the presentation of nationally acclaimed artists Cary Leibowitz and Annabeth Rosen. In addition, CAMH featured two sets international artist collaborators - Pauline Boudry & Renate Lorenz and Charan Singh & Sunil Gupta. Boudry & Lorenz will go on to represent Switzerland at the Venice Biennale in 2019. Total on-site attendance for these exhibitions as well as attendance from tour exhibitions totaled 69,815.
