In November 2006, Phoenix Art Museum celebrated the grand opening of its $50 million expansion project, which includes a permanent home for its collection of contemporary art, in the Ellen and Howard C. Katz Wing for Modern Art designed by world famous architects, Tod Williams and Billie Tsien. It is a stunning addition to the Museum and provides 25,000-square-feet of new column-free gallery space. The expansion project also included the addition of the Heather and Michael Greenbaum Lobby and the outdoor Wilde Family Plaza also designed by Williams and Tsien.
To complement these additions, the Jacquie and Bennett Dorrance Sculpture Garden, designed by the Watertown, Massachusetts, landscape architecture firm, Reed Hilderbrand Associates, also opened.
With the inspiration provided by its beautiful new space, Contemporary Forum looks forward to many years of energetic activity on behalf of Phoenix Art Museum. CF is proud of its past contributions and looks forward to implementing its goals of education and acquisition.
Contemporary Forum is dedicated to promoting interest, knowledge and understanding of contemporary art as it relates to our community through the acquisition of contemporary art for Phoenix Art Museum, through the sponsorship of exhibitions of contemporary art and through the access it provides its members to artists, galleries, collectors and art educators, both nationally and internationally.
Contemporary Forum aids area artists through Artists Grants Program and the Mid-Career Artist Award. In addition, each year CF presents the Scult Studio Art Scholarship created by Arlene and Mort Scult. This award supports the progress of an undergraduate art student at ASU by providing funds for tuition.
Forum members have the opportunity for art-related travel - both domestic and international - visiting galleries, special art exhibitions, museums, artists’ studios, and private collections.
CF members and their guests may attend special annual fund-raising events throughout the year (ArtPick in November, and the Art Auction & Dinner in February). Funds raised at these events, over $3,000,000 to date, are used for the exclusive purpose of acquiring significant works of art for the Museum.
Contemporary Forum members are very socially minded, and enjoy the opportunity to meet and interact with people of similar interests at the many programs held throughout the year, giving greater insight to the question, “What is contemporary art, and why is it important to our city and to our culture?” .
Contemporary Forum Mission
Contemporary Forum supports Phoenix Art Museum in its acquisitions and exhibitions of art created post-1960 both by raising funds for these purposes, encouraging individual donors to contribute funds for the acquisition of contemporary pieces as well as by encouraging an appreciation of contemporary art among CF and Museum members and among Arizona resident artists, art educators, art dealers as well as the general public.
An active Phoenix Art Museum membership is a prerequisite for joining Contemporary Forum . For more information regarding Phoenix Art Museum visit http://www.phxart.org/ or call 602 257-1880.
