“It’s fun to meet with different people that you don’t know. It’s fun to talk about art you love with people who have never seen it before, and it’s fun to get people into the building.” — Andrea Bennett, CAM volunteer docent

 

The Cincinnati Art Museum (CAM) has been a cornerstone of creativity and connection in our community for over 140 years. With more than 73,000 works of art, free general admission, and programs that serve people of all ages, CAM is more than a museum; it is a gathering place, a learning hub, and a space for inspiration. The museum is committed to creating a lasting impact in our community. Through partnerships with local nonprofits, organizations, and institutions, we strive to promote programs that are diverse, equitable, and creatively enriching.

To keep our community connections strong, we need your help! Please consider giving to the museum’s  Annual Fund. Some of CAM’s community programs supported by the Annual Fund include:

  • CAM Kids Day, Young Artists Open Studio, and art-making activities encouraging exploration, self-expression, and play.
  • CAM Cruiser, a mobile art experience, designed to bring creativity directly to you. Whether you’re at a library, festival, or a local nonprofit event, look for the CAM Cruiser “art van,” your on-the-go connection to the arts.
  • Programs for Adults and Creatives, including lectures, gallery talks, artist meetups, workshops, and after-hours events.

When you give to CAM’s Annual Fund, you fuel creativity, ignite learning, and expand access to art across our community. Your support powers free programs, hands-on learning, and meaningful outreach that meets people where they are.

Take action. Join us in delivering Art for Life.
