The Castlemaine Art Museum (CAM) exhibits an important regional collection spanning both art and historical items.

In recent years, CAM’s focus has been its artistic vision of Art and Ideas in History. Now recognised as one of Victoria’s top 4 regional galleries, CAM has:

• Maintained a program of engaging and dynamic exhibitions;
• Commissioned contemporary artists, both local and beyond, to interpret and respond to the collection, sparking new connections, reflections and ideas;
• Taken up a distinctive position representing and championing living artists across Central Victoria; and
• Forged robust and ongoing partnerships with the local Jaara people of the Dja Dja Wurrung, and other First Nations people.

CAM is shortly to embark on a redevelopment project supported by Creative Victoria, and seeks to strengthen its Board.
