Special Event

CAM’s 20th Anniversary Gala

Sat Apr 20, 2024, 6:00pm – 9:00pm

On September 19, 2003, the Museum opened its extraordinary new building designed by renowned American architect Brad Cloepfil in the Grand Center Arts District of St. Louis. This marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter as the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis. At its founding, the Museum was envisioned as a forum where inventive and challenging art would create meaningful conversation. Cloepfil’s critically acclaimed design has enabled us to present the work of nearly 700 artists, produce 260+ exhibitions, and welcome 550,000+ visitors into its flexible, inviting, and open space. The last 20 years have seen CAM become one of the major contemporary art museums in the country and an integral part of the St. Louis cultural landscape.

We look forward to having you help us honor and celebrate 20 years of CAM!
