CAMP: the Contemporary Art Museum Plainview is first of its kind in this dusty rural community of Plainview Texas. Population 22,000, this small Texas Panhandle town is perched just west of Caprock Canyons where once Comanche hunted buffalo and traded captives with New Mexico Comanchero’. The museum serves as a unifying anchor for the diversified community and contributes to the recent cultural revitalization of downtown and Main Street. CAMP provides regular programming including four major exhibitions of contemporary art, summer workshops and space for artistic experimentation for Texas, Louisiana and New Mexico artists. The museum is a destination for local artists, art organizations, schools, community members and visiting collaborators.
