INDIANAPOLIS — The Contemporary Art Museum of Indianapolis, or CAMi, will open with a weekend-long celebration May 1-3 in Garfield Park. The new museum is housed in a former dairy barn, converted into a museum with galleries, artist studios, storefronts, a performance space, a cafe and a culinary arts area for classes. CAMi is located at 1125 Cruft Ave. across from Garfield Park.
The museum is the brainchild of Big Car Collaborative that owns the building and manages the project. CAMi is the first museum dedicated to contemporary art in the city since Indianapolis Contemporary closed in April 2020.
Hours will be Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday 9 a.m.-6 p.m, Saturday and Sunday 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. On First Fridays it will be open 9 a.m. – 10 p.m. Admission is free.
The main exhibition, “Campo de Resonancia,” by Puerto Rican painter Ivelisse Jiménez, will be on display in the Jeremy Efroymson Gallery. There will be local artists on display as well.
