History
Since 1962, The Contemporary Art Society (CAS) of the Indianapolis Museum of Art has promoted the understanding, appreciation, and collection of contemporary art. Through a dynamic series of social and educational events, CAS members enjoy privileged access to curators, artists, private collections, and travel. CAS members significantly impact the collection of contemporary art at the IMA by contributing to acquisitions and participating in voting to bring selected works into the collection. CAS regularly hosts lectures featuring nationally and internationally renowned artists. Past artists include: Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons, Dawoud Bey, Alfredo Jaar, Orly Genger, Josephine Meckseper, Tara Donovan, Erwin Wurm, Michelle Grabner, Richard Wentworth and Jacco Olivier. Through their generous support, CAS members helped build the Museum's contemporary art collection.
