A great place to discover local artists! The exhibits also change frequently and are often interactive. The staff members are always very helpful and knowledgeable about the exhibits. The museum is never extremely crowded, which allows you to look at your own pace.

Great space for events, showings in excellent downtown Raleigh location. Recently, I participated as a vendor at NC Book Festival Book Fair at CAM. Wish there had been more street side advertising for the event to increase foot traffic to support the authors and publishers at the book fair, but overall a nice experience in an accessible location.

Well-curated work from very talented (mostly) local artists. Love the spacious but not too big layout of installations. This museum is a jewel in Raleigh

The exhibit was interesting. Staff greeted us and asked us how we enjoyed the experience. Its nice for something to do.

Family Day at CAM, this was our first visit, my grandson loved it!! He sat on a Harley and said awesome. The DJ, arts & crafts, and ice cream was a big hit. Were definitely coming back.

I have attended the exhibits at CAM Raleigh several times a year for a decade now and I must say that, generally speaking, I am not fond of the exhibits or programming. Its important to me to keep up with the trends in the art discipline, and so I make regular trips to museums and galleries in LA, San Francisco, New York, and DC (and abroad). I will still go to the CAM in Raleigh but the layout of the museum and the way things are presented isnt to my taste.

Enjoyed CAM Raleigh. Relaxed environment. Nice art and exhibits that celebrate culture as well different time periods. You could spend anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours here and feel fulfilled.

Great little museum with striking art work.

Go see the Low Rider custom motorcycle exhibitYou wont be disappointedAnd drop by Humble Pie across the street for eats n drinks while your there

Discovered thus place while walking to The Dillion. Have always seen it but never stopped by.The art os very creative! Open to the public, staff are very nice and pleasant.Great place to go for a date night!!!

Beautiful space. Important for people to visit.

Love this museum! It is in the heart of the warehouse district. Across the street from Urban Outfitters. The current exhibit Above The Rim will only be there about 2 more weeks & it is a must see! Friendly staff, clean, easy to navigate.

Really neat museum, a tad small but really good content, really cool and friendly staff too

This place is a gem. Knowledgeable and friendly staff, go at your own pace, places to sit and clean facilities. Check out the new low rider display that’s here til February.

My honey and I had a great time here. We met up with friends and enjoyed the whole First Friday exhibit.

Always neat and interesting exhibits here. And its in the cool warehouse district

Attended the 8th annual tattoo fest @ CAM Raleigh. It was interesting.

Its nice but small I wish it could be larger

Nice art work and I like the interactive space for the kids.

I like this place in part for what offers, the rotating shows, and for where it is: smack in the middle of the warehouse district in downtown Raleigh. We routinely bundle a quick stop to CAM to see their latest thing in conjunction with catching a show somewhere else and grabbing a meal. Take advantage of their military discount- bring your military idea and save a boatload of money If you do, consider donating some of it keep this place alive and thriving.

Another nice place to go on a weekend or weekday afternoon. Usually has a kids center with arts and crafts. Art rotates through like most galleries but is always beautiful and fun to see. However, it is a little small but is sure to grow and become another great arts center

Great lowrider exhibit

Excellent, the bike exhibit is definitely worth checking out.

Situated in a nice part of town. Eclectic set up and unusual exhibits one would not expect at a museum and yet totally appropriate dealing with art that is underserved. This visit custom motor bikes. Each one a piece of art that would have been perfectly in place in an Art Deco setting. Highly recommend taking the time to see these bikes even if one is not a rider.

Great space - amazing art.

Great space for an artist to create.

Neat art gallery which had an awesome display of motorcycles when I went as well as some fascinating paper mache objects and art by an artist relating to various Mexican history.

Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The exhibits are professionally done and the art is world-class. Fabulous place for art to bring on a sophisticated romantic date or an activity for family. It is now free admission, so that makes it even better.

A great place to go to experience nouveau art in a peaceful, calming atmosphere.

Interesting architecture and beautiful art line the walls, though its a very small museum overall. We went for a free family event and it was awesome. We wandered around after the event and were impressed with the art pieces, but found that theres not much here among the three levels. This is similar to other modern art museums in comparable sized cities, so I guess its just a function of population. The staff were amazing and friendly!

Love the exhibits there for first friday in April!

You cant go wrong with free. Everything was beautiful and clean. They even have a small station for the smaller children called the creation Station.

Nice small modern art museum. It was in the middle of changing exhibits but the things we did get see were great! The lady at the front desk said they change exhibits every 3 months so I would definitely go back to see the different artwork.

The exhibits are always worth looking at. The music on first Fridays is great.

This place is beautiful. I was here for an event and this place had an atmosphere like no other. It has big open spaces and little nooks to go into if you want some privacy. An all around awesome experience

Classy venue with fantastic, modern Art exhibits. I modeled in a runway show here recently, and thoroughly enjoyed the modern take on Disney Princesses. We even did a photoshoot in and around the exhibit. Def a must see if you are in the area or live in Raleigh.

Just discovered this place while doing an art competition there. I would love to see an art show set up

I took my class with special needs to a specialProgram they offer and it was amazing! Gab was a great tour guide and kept their interest for over an hour! We will Def take another trip back!

More of a gallery than museum, but work isnt for sale, so I guess it doesnt meet those criteria either. Either way, a really neat space, and the current exhibitions are great contemporary art.

There arent many exhibits at any given time but they often have really fun events and family events with music and dancing and stuff. Thats what we really like about CAM.

CAM is great! I love that they rotate out the exhibits, so there is always something new to see. It’s a beautiful building and very interesting!

Nice place for a viewing of Modern Art. This place was smaller than I expected but the art was really cool! There were 3 or 4 different exhibits when I went.

Pretty cool place with activities for children and families!

The CAM Raleigh is a great art and events space. I have been to several art shows there and one party...there are so many ways that the venue can be set up, it never disappoints. Great acoustics for music shows. Its always a nice treat to visit.

Smaller than expected but a cute place with about a dozen art installations per floor. Theres two floors technically three if you include the lobby area.

Great museum and friendly staff. A great asset for Raleigh!

Every month we come into Cam to check out the exhibits for the first Friday art walk. This is a must stop every month.

Great visit, first time, will definitely visit again!!!

A small but lovely museum. The lowrider exhibit is worth a second visit.

It ok ...friendly service!

Medium sized place, so expect to make a visit more of a stop rather than the whole point of a trip. Definitely worth seeing for those who enjoy art, but if you’re not much of an artist fan you might feel as if the trip wasn’t worth it. If you visit, keep your mind open and you’ll have a great time! I would absolutely visit again if I was in the area, especially if I only had a little time to spend because I would feel I still had enough time to have a good experience.

Culture, art, family friendly, rare for this state outside of Raleigh...

A contemplative place for contemporary art.

A great location to view contemporary art in Downtown Raleigh.

Went for a wedding. An amazing venture. Staff was very cool & very helpful.

My biggest pet peeve with art museums is a lot of space and few exhibits. The CAM Museum takes that to an extreme. Big building and less than a dozen exhibits when I was there. They used up a huge room for one exhibit a basketball court with a bunch of squares as people on the walls. Not only a waste of space but why reduce people to squares? Another exhibit was they gave cameras to homeless people. Only 20 pictures and the results were predictible. Maybe they were trying for social commentary instead of art, but failed there too. Just bad. We were in and out in under ten minutes. CAM get new management that knows how to do an exhibit.

New experience, great for small gatheringsAs well great art

Low rider display was amazing, great space!

One of the best art gallery downtown. Would highly suggest coming here when open to see their frequently rotated pieces.

Great place that enjoy visiting anytime the exhibitions change! It’s free for college students which I LOVE, & they provide free parking!

Highly educational and informative museum. Good stuff

Great auction hosted by PoshNosh Catering

Very nice contemporary art museum with great exhibits.

Its super fun

Lovely place, dont forget to see the work downstairs.

This place is amazing really great art lots to do fun for all ages

Great space, wonderful building, friendly staff and not overwhelming exhibition space where you start to feel like its a forced March to see everything.

Great gallery space, but very limited exhibitions. Only 3 artist, with one displaying only one piece. Took about 5-10 to walk through the entire gallery. Was less than expected.

An amazing experience. The space is great fun to explore.

I try to visit the place every first Friday, when the museum is open late (I believe until 10p). They usually have a nice rotation of exhibits, frequently by local artists. I also really enjoy the making station they put up for first Friday. I always take my friends here if they happen to be in town for first Friday, and then cover the galleries nearby.CAM also has a food truck outside on first Fridays, which is a bonus (I dont think they do on other days). Its located in one of my favorite areas of town (Warehouse District), and theres lots of things to do around after the museum.

Love the artist gatherings. I get so much more from the art when I get to hear the story behind it from the artist.. A beautiful space with fun events.

Loved all the exhibits - amazing work for such a small museum. Highly recommend.

Edgy exhibits... Fantasy guns made of assemblages of found objects, a series of liberated studies of female Disney characters/heroines, and a fantastic series of drawings/paintings about Obamas famous mike drop. Interesting and contemporary. Ill be going back!

Always something cool to see here. Close to bars and restaurants.

Great idea to have the younger generation learning about art and being able to share learned knowledge with visitors. I wasnt wowed by the most recent exhibit focusing on basketball, but I will definitely come back to see whats new.

We love the CAM. Great family activities.

Nice to have art museum downtown. Needs serious upgrade of showings.

Always something interesting there. Exhibits change. $5 to get in. Free on First Fridays.

Great contemporary art museum!

Very Interesting displays. Somewhat one sided politically.

Visiting is always a memorable experience. The installations are thoughtfully developed and they always have events. Very friendly and educational staff and involved in community enrichment. Great place to walk around when you have free time or bring people from out of town.

Nice venue for tattoo fest

The facility is beautiful, but the collection of art did not feel as impactful as I would have liked.

BRIDES BEWARE!My sister had her wedding reception booked for here and 5 WEEKS before the wedding, they let us know that the artist wont let you have food or drink around the art. The only thing that they offered was to let us use a CLASSROOM SIZED SPACE to serve OVER 150 GUESTS their food. We were guaranteed the entire space in our contract including being able to serve food and drink and only now do they let us know we cant use the space for the reception at all? RIDICULOUS. We have now had to find a new reception space 5 weeks before her wedding. 5 WEEKS!!! And were not the only ones, this art will be there for several months so anyone else who scheduled an event with food is screwed too. If you show case art that you cant have events around DONT RENT OUT THE SPACE FOR EVENTS! This is an outrage and could have potential ruined one of the best days of my sisters life. If we werent as capable and lucky as we were to be able to find another space, this would have been a catastrophe. Im putting this out as a warning to any brides looking for a reception space in hopes that they will NEVER have to deal with this like we have.

Why are you reading reviews. Its art! Go interpret it for yourself!

It was where FAB was for the LGBT center of Raleigh Nc had their awards program at

Was not impressed. A friend and I visited on a Sunday. Not too busy, but soon to figure out why. They charged a $5 entry fee. The ONLY art on file was the main room that had been decorated by black and white masking tape. The rest of the museum was under renovations. It would have been better to have just closed the museum for the day.

What a great atmosphere. Very spacious and enjoyed myself

One of my favorite places to explore in DTR. Always new and intriguing exhibits.

Friendly staff and beautiful art installation.

Really nice museum, albeit not very big. College students get in for free as well as a number of other people (ie senior citizens) and the reception staff was very polite. They had a really cool Disney princess installment when I went where an artist reimagined Disney princesses as modern day activists.

Interesting collection of contemporary art.

Very nice exhibit, really enjoyed looking at every exhibit

Love coming here for Creative Morning talks on the last Friday of every month!

There arent very many works of art to see here. Good thing we came on first friday and didnt pay admission. Also, Ive been here twice over the course of one year and most of the exhibitions are the same.

Love there frame sales

The CAM always has beautiful and thought provoking exhibits. This is definitely one of the favorite spaces in Raleigh. This space is also home to many local events and parties. I was recently there for the Redress Raleigh Fashion show. This space is progressive and innovative.

Cool place to visit.

The installations used to be hit or miss, but the last 3 times Ive been here, I left feeling inspired and proud that Raleigh has such a prolific and accessible art experience downtown.
