Mission
The Contemporary is a nomadic, non-collecting art museum in Baltimore, Maryland.  Our mission expands the idea of a museum as an incubator that commissions site-specific and subject-oriented projects.  We engage diverse audiences and advance contemporary art through projects and educational programming. 

Our work is inspired by three guiding principles:  artists matter, collaboration is key, and audience is everywhere.
