About CMA
Our mission at the Columbus Museum of Art is to create great experiences with great art for everyone. We are guided by a vision of connecting people and art and we nurture that connection while removing barriers between our community and our collection.

There's a willingness at CMA to try new things. We encourage curiosity about art, conversations about creativity, and connections with cultures. A community hub where ideas can be exchanged and different voices heard, the Museum nurtures creativity through building relationships with diverse partners and designing engaging experiences.

We believe that creativity is what we crave, require, and need for the future. The challenges of our time demand creative ways of thinking and doing- in our schools, businesses, government, community, and world. We intentionally design experiences to provoke dialogue, to promote collaboration, and to encourage risk-taking. Our goal is simple - to prepare today's generations to think and lead as the future demands.

CMA's galleries are filled with works that manifest creativity. Our collection includes outstanding late nineteenth and early twentieth-century American and European modern works of art. We house the world's largest collections of works by beloved local artists Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson, Elijah Pierce, and George Bellows; and acclaimed collections such as The Photo League and the Schiller Collection. A commitment to contemporary art, folk art, glass, and photography continues the Museum's dedication to showcasing art of our time. CMA also presents a rich menu of traveling and CMA-organized special exhibitions that reflect the
diverse voices in our community.

We value the role these artists play to imagine, question, connect and explore. And we believe that is our responsibility to foster these attributes within our community and to encourage citizens to think like artists.

Mission and Values
CMA's mission is to create great experiences with great art for everyone. We value creativity, experience, and relationships. Valuing creativity means we celebrate the process and results of creativity and provide opportunities for people to cultivate and discover the value of creativity in their own lives. Valuing experience means we are radically inclusive and warmly welcome everyone into the Museum community and everything it has to offer. Valuing relationships means that we believe parnterships and collaborations allow creativity to thrive and CMA to serve our community.
