CAM Connect is our ongoing initiative to strengthen social connection, community advocacy, and creative expression among groups who have historically faced barriers to the museum: people with disabilities, residents in North St. Louis, and older adults.

This exhibition, Access is an Invitation, features stories and works of art co-created with community partners, including quilts made by seniors at Central Baptist Church, work made in our Tornado Relief Summer Camp, and insights from the North St. Louis Creative Field Guide. Visitors are also invited to participate in an interactive Disability Justice Dreamer Space to envision accessible, creative communities and celebrate the power of meaningful partnerships.

Access is an Invitation: CAM Connect Showcase is organized for the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis by Alexis Creamer, Community Access Manager.
