The Contemporary Fund is CAM’s premier giving society for art patrons who support a young, vibrant organization that dreams big.  Patrons who want to do more than write a check – they want to get involved and learn more about the world of contemporary art through distinctive, intimate, exclusive experiences.  Patrons who are cool and cultured, and seek camaraderie with others who share the same values.
