Coos Art Museum

The Museum houses the large Maggie Karl Gallery, the Perkins Room Gallery and the Permanent Collection Alcove Gallery along with the Rental/Sales Gallery on the main floor. On the 2nd floor, via either the Art Deco staircase or the ADA compliant elevator,visitors will find the Mable Hansen Gallery and the spacious Uno Richter Atrium; complete with exposed brick walls and a sky lit arched ceiling.

Also on the 2nd floor, the state-of-the art Permanent Collection storage and work area helps to keep CAM’s 525 works of art in pristine condition. Museum management offices and the Art Education Classroom are also located on the 2nd floor. 

Comprising over 600 works, CAM’s Permanent Collection is focused on contemporary fine art prints and original works in all media by Pacific Northwest artists. The fine art print collection contains many works by major American artists including Alexander Calder, Warrington Colescott, Red Grooms, Robert Rauschenberg, and Larry Rivers. The Collection continues to grow through donation.

Since 1995, CAM’s Adopt an Artwork program has improved the condition of over 143 works. Everyone may “adopt an artwork” by underwriting the cost of reframing or restoring a work. Donors are acknowledged whenever the adopted works are exhibited.
