Donate Now

CAM has been a cornerstone of Cincinnati’s cultural life for over 140 years. With more than 73,000 works of art, free general admission, and outreach programs impacting thousands each year, we’re proud to serve as a place for learning, community, and creativity. Through partnerships with local nonprofits and community organizations CAM expands its reach and meets people where they are, making art accessible, equitable, and engaging.

Some of our programs for the community include:

  • CAM Kids Day, Young Artists Open Studio, and art-making activities encouraging exploration, self-expression, and play.
  • The 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, the CAM Cruiser is your on-the-go connection to the arts.
  • Programs for Adults and Creatives, including lectures, gallery talks, artist meetups, workshops, and after-hours events.

We need you to make this possible.
