Community

CAM is dedicated to engaging with its immediate neighbors and the broader region in which we live. We aim to promote access to contemporary art as a forum for making connections and community care.

CAM Connect

CAM Connect provides inclusive access to contemporary art for St. Louis residents. CAM Connect is designed to strengthen social connection, community advocacy, and creative expression. The program specifically focuses on three historically marginalized and isolated community segments: people with disabilities, residents of North St. Louis, and older adults.

North St. Louis Creative Field Guide

As part of CAM’s ongoing commitment to our northside neighbors, the North St. Louis Creative Field Guide is a resident- and artist-led project that treats the garden as an art studio that creates wellbeing, community building, and renewed investment in place.

Food Drive

CAM has partnered with Operation Food Search to host a food drive to help fill the gap for those in need in our region and to support families at St. Louis Public Schools through our ongoing partnership. You can join us in helping to feed our neighbors by donating non-perishable food items now through December 10, 2025.

Donations can be dropped off in the lobby during open hours. The highest need is shelf-stable protein: cans/pouches of chicken, meat, fish, beans, and soups/stews with proteins or other “meals in a can.” Pop-top cans are preferred; please avoid perishable items, ramen noodles, or glass containers.
