History
[edit]CAM Raleigh was founded in 1983 as the City Gallery of Contemporary Art and for a time was operated by the College of Design of North Carolina State University.[3]
On June 3, 2025, CAM Raleigh announced that as of June 15 it would temporarily pause on-site exhibitions and in-house programming to reassess its future. External collaborations and community partnerships would remain active.[4] On August 3, 2026 CAM Raleigh announced it was selling its gallery location in the Warehouse District.[5] In use since 2011, the gallery was a 1910 warehouse providing 20,000 square feet of space.[6][7] The facility was re-purposed by Brooks + Scarpa.[8][9]
