CAM Raleigh — Attraction in Raleigh

BRIDES BEWARE! My sister had her wedding reception booked for here and 5 WEEKS before the wedding, they let us know that the artist won't let you have food or drink around the art. The only thing that they offered was to let us use a CLASSROOM SIZED SPACE to serve OVER 150 GUESTS their food. We were guaranteed the entire space in our contract including being able to serve food and drink and only now do they let us know we can't use the space for the reception at all? RIDICULOUS. We have now had to find a new reception space 5 weeks before her wedding. 5 WEEKS!!! And we're not the only ones, this art will be there for several months so anyone else who scheduled an event with food is screwed too. If you show case art that you can't have events around DON'T RENT OUT THE SPACE FOR EVENTS! This is an outrage and could have potential ruined one of the best days of my sisters life. If we weren't as capable and lucky as we were to be able to find another space, this would have been a catastrophe. I'm putting this out as a warning to any brides looking for a reception space in hopes that they will NEVER have to deal with this...

My children took me to this art museum as part of my Mother’s Day celebration yesterday. It is free admission and they accept donations. It is a walk-in, no reservations required.

What I enjoyed about this art museum besides, the art of course, is that they give not only biographical information about each artist, but they also provide an overview of that artist’s style and a summary of the collection of art that is being presented for that artist.

The atmosphere is serene and conducive for an art museum. Everything is spaced out nicely to give room to multiple people viewing at the same time. The building is also maintained at a good...

My daughter & I were in the area doing a bit of vintage shopping when we saw the neon signs and decide to step inside to see what it was all about. We were pleasantly surprised to find out it was free admission (thanks to generous donations) and there were several exhibits to check out. It's a very well laid out museum with plenty of room to roam around and step back to admire the art without bumping into others. The two or three exhibits on display were very provocative and it was nice that the artist actually provided some pieces that were interactive so we could literally get a feel for her works of art. We will definitely be stopping by again.

Friendly reception as soon as we entered and ascended the stairs, she thoroughly explained what was available to see. Definitely a nice place to bring locals and...
