Artists Featured in the CAM Perennial Exhibition

CAM has engaged in a self study to learn more about how we might better represent the diversity of San Antonio. We will use this data to direct our organization toward a more inclusive model which requires that me look at ourselves critically. We are also committed to transparently reporting the demographic data about our Volunteer Board, Perennial Curators, and Featured Perennial Artists. Below you’ll find the demographic breakdown of our Featured Perennial Artists in terms of gender, race/ethnicity, and sexual/romantic orientation.

Demographics of Race/Ethnicity

Each year the CAM Board selects a curator who chooses artists for the Perennial Exhibition. When we look at the demographics of race/ethnicity we see that the Perennials have featured 46.3% Latino/a/X artists, 42.6% white artists, 4.8% Asian artists, 4.8% Black Artists, 1.2% American Indian or Alaskan Native, 1.2% that preferred not to answer and we have never featured an artist who identifies as Hawaiian or Pacific Islander. This distribution of race/ethnicity doesn’t represent the diversity of our communities according to the census data. The CAM board will work with future curators to make them aware of the diversity of our communities.
