The museum’s permanent collection houses 4,000 objects that span paintings, photographs, film, sculpture, historical documents, and artifacts.
CAAM has a strong mandate to support the work of under-represented artists of color and to think expansively about the way that people of the African diaspora have contributed to American culture and the world at large. This is achieved through a rotating schedule of temporary art and history exhibitions and public programming for visitors of all ages.
