Castlemaine Art Museum to close
Friday July 28th, 2017
The Board of the Castlemaine Art Museum (CAM) has decided to close to the public, effective Friday 11 August 2017. The decision to close the art museum is in response to a range of operational and strategic challenges, including significant reductions in revenue, along with deep-rooted vulnerabilities in financial structures; extensive compliance, maintenance and infrastructure demands arising from a heritage-listed building; and the need for intensive planning around governance, financial sustainability and proposed building redevelopment.
