Free Admission Thursday from 11am to 6pm at Contemporary Arts Museum Houston - see INFO below. A group of six Houston citizens signed the charter and founded Contemporary Arts Museum Houston in 1948. This newly formed institution had a goal to present and document new art and its role in modern life through exhibitions, lectures, and other activities. The Museums history of exhibitions began with those presented at various sites throughout the city CAMHs role in this city has always been to stake new ground, introduce new voices, and shake things up. Over the last 74 years, CAMH presented the first-ever solo Museum exhibitions of Julian Schnabel, Cindy Sherman, Garrett Bradley, and many others. This year, weve introduced the first solo museum shows of Diane Severin Nguyen and Troy Montes Michie. CAMH also originated the first-ever museum exhibitions of Amoako Boafo, Mariah Garnett, and Ming Smith. As with many shows from CAMHs past, the impact of these exhibitions crystallizes in the coming decades. More Info below.
