UAM - University Art Museum

Profile

Founded in 1973, the University Art Museum (UAM) at California State University, Long Beach, is a unique cultural institution that champions new and often challenging ideas through wide-ranging exhibitions and provocative programs. The UAM curatorial vision focuses on tension and interplay at the nexus of contemporary art, technology, and society.

For over 30 years, the UAM has introduced numerous artists from diverse fields to a broad audience, both nationally and internationally, and has showcased many of the most significant artistic and cultural developments of the past 50 years. The UAM program of dynamic solo exhibitions and landmark group presentations define key moments in contemporary art, reflect the global nature of art today, and span a vast array of cultural activities and media.

The UAM staff and I hope you enjoy the new virtual presentation of the UAM. It is our desire and hope that this new website will be informative, educational, and insightful, but not a substitute for visiting us in person. We guarantee that you will always find engaging and meaningful exhibitions and programs that will make your trip to the campus worthwhile
