Contemporary Art Museum of Raleigh, Contemporary art museum in Warehouse District, Raleigh, United States.
The Contemporary Art Museum of Raleigh occupies a renovated produce warehouse from the early 1900s in the Warehouse District with large windows and multiple exhibition levels. The floor plan accommodates various display formats and adapts industrial architecture for contemporary art presentation.
The museum was founded in 2011 through collaboration between local arts supporters, the North Carolina Museum of Art, and NC State University. This partnership created a new institution focused on experimental and rotating exhibitions.
The museum presents rotating exhibitions by emerging artists alongside installations, video art, and performance pieces shown year-round. Visitors encounter experimental work that finds less space in traditional art institutions.
The museum is located at 409 West Martin Street in the Warehouse District and offers free admission to all visitors. Parking is available nearby and the building is easy to navigate during your visit.
The museum operates without a permanent collection, meaning every exhibition is new and the programming constantly changes. This model allows it to showcase current artistic trends faster than traditional institutions.
