Contemporary art is the art of today, produced by artists who are living in the twenty-first century.

Contemporary art provides an opportunity to reflect on contemporary society and the issues relevant to ourselves, and the world around us.

Contemporary artists work in a globally influenced, culturally diverse, and technologically advancing world.

Their art is a dynamic combination of materials, methods, concepts, and subjects that challenge traditional boundaries and defy easy definition.

Diverse and eclectic, contemporary art as a whole is distinguished by the very lack of a uniform, organizing principle, ideology, or ‘ism.’ Contemporary art is part of a cultural dialogue that concerns larger contextual frameworks such as personal and cultural identity, family, community, and nationality.

A happening is a performance, event, or situation meant to be considered art, usually as performance art.

The term was first used by Allan Kaprow during the 1950s to describe a range of art-related event or multiple events.
