The Columbia Museum of Art is among the leading art institutions in the country. In our 25+ galleries, you’ll find art that spans 5,000 years of history and all areas of the globe. Our Wells Fargo Interactive Education Gallery is always free for children and families. Established in 1950, we now welcome and reach more than 150,000 people a year. We have received a National Medal for Museum and Library Service, a National Art Education Association award for our contributions to arts education, a National Park Foundation Award, and two Elizabeth O'Neill Verner Governor's Awards for the Arts for outstanding contributions to the arts in South Carolina. We are institutional members of Southeastern Museums Conference, American Alliance of Museums, South Carolina Arts Alliance, and South Carolina Association of Nonprofit Organizations.
The Columbia Museum of Art is a charitable nonprofit organization that celebrates creativity and champions arts education in our community. We are dedicated to lifelong learning and community enrichment for all.
We are grateful for the generous support and vision of the City of Columbia, Richland County, the State of South Carolina, and the numerous donors and supporters who share the CMA’s mission to educate, enrich, and inspire the community and visitors to our state.
