Official description from Chelsea Art Museum:
Chelsea Art Museum, Home of the Miotte Foundation, is committed to an exploration of “art within a context.” This approach favors a program of exhibitions which reflect contemporary human experience across a broad spectrum of cultural, social, environmental and geographical contexts. CAM’s exhibitions, each supported by a rich series of related cultural events and educational programs, seek to support in both its artists and audiences a sense of creativity, community and cultural exchange. Co-founder and president, Dorothea Keeser, describes CAM’s curatorial vision as, “a commitment to art as a living entity which reacts and interacts with us and changes the way one continues to live one’s daily life”.
Wikipedia excerpt:
The Chelsea Art Museum (CAM) is a contemporary art museum located at 556 West 22nd Street on the corner of Eleventh Avenue in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. The museum is in a 30,000 sq ft (2,800 m2) renovated historic building, which is also the location of the Miotte Foundation, which is committed to archiving and protecting the works of Jean Miotte and providing new scholarship and research on L'Art Informel. Miotte’s collected works are conserved as a legacy for New York, where he has kept a studio in SoHo since 1978. Rotating selections of Miotte’s work are shown at the museum on a regular basis, as are selections from the museum permanent collection ,which contains 500 works, including paintings, etchings, sculpture, ceramics, tapestries, and works on paper, primarily focusing on L'Art Informel and Abstract Expressionist artists from Europe and the United States, including Pol Bury, Mimmo Rotella, and J.P. Riopelle.
We don't have any current exhibitions on file, most likely because we're still collecting listings.
In the meantime, check out the Chelsea Art Museum homepage or our exhibitions list for N.Y.-wide exhibits.
