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.

An art museum or art gallery is a building or space for the exhibition of art, usually visual art.

Museums can be public or private, but what distinguishes a museum is the ownership of a collection.

Paintings are the most commonly displayed art objects; however, sculptures, decorative arts, furniture, textiles, costumes, drawings, pastels, watercolors, collages, prints, artist's books, photographs, and installation art are also regularly shown.

Although primarily concerned with providing a space to show works of visual art, art galleries are sometimes used to host other artistic activities, such as performance arts, music concerts, or poetry readings.
