The Contemporary Art
Museum St. Louis (formerly the Forum for Contemporary Art) was founded on
the Mississippi riverfront in 1980 by a group of community leaders in order
to introduce visual arts programming and cultural activities into the
downtown core. The Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis mission is to present
the best recent visual art and ideas and this non-collecting museum is the
leading venue for contemporary art in St. Louis. The Contemporary is
recognized nationally for the quality of its exhibitions and education
programs.
In
2003, the Contemporary opened its 27,200 square foot building in Grand
Center, the midtown arts and entertainment district. The building consists
of two levels and the gallery space was designed with an intentional vacancy
that is meant to achieve meaning through the art itself. The diversity of
exhibition spaces invites the public to engage in the presentation of new
work. The Contemporary is next to the Pulitzer Foundation for the
Arts, which
is also charges no admission and is accessible via a courtyard that connects
the two.
