Columbia Museum of Art

The Columbia Museum of Art sparks powerful connections through art from around the corner and around the world in an environment that is welcoming to all.

When the Columbia Museum of Art began 75 years ago, it did more than just open its doors. It created opportunities, sparked conversations, broadened perspectives, and ignited moments of discovery through art. Over the years, we have expanded significantly, moving from the stately house on Taylor Street to the iconic building on Main Street. The CMA isn't just a museum - it's a dynamic hub where art comes alive, and everyone is invited to join the experience.

We owe our success to supporters like you. Your contributions provide the solid foundation we need to make bold advancements, to continue growing, and to serve our communities in diverse and inclusive ways. Seventy-five years is just the start. Thank you! We eagerly anticipate what we will achieve together next.
