Important Update

Contemporary Arts Museum Houston is suspending all public events to support community-wide efforts to slow the spread of the virus. During this time, CAMH will remain open normal hours and we are taking every precaution to preserve the safety of visitors and our staff.

Throughout this time of necessary social distance, CAMH will do everything we can imagine to celebrate the human connections art creates across distance and the potent ways art shines through crisis. We will continue to share extraordinary, thought-provoking arts programming through every platform available to us, and hope to foster deeper connections between artists and audiences experiencing these uncharted times together.

Bookmark this page to follow our event announcements and join us on our social media platforms as we work to bring the museum to you.
