Contemporary Arts Museum Houston reopens for the first time since March 2020 By Amber Elliott, Staff writer
Contemporary Arts Museum Houston director Hesse McGraw didn’t underplay how emotional reopening would be. CAMH’s doors had been closed to the public since March 15. Visitors first returned on Feb. 25, nearly a year after the coronavirus pandemic forced most art institutions to shut down.
“It’s been really difficult and challenging for many of our staff,” he admitted. “We’ve tried to really stabilize as much as we could. But this opportunity to reopen… it feels quite extraordinary. It’s something that our entire team has waited for.”
