The past year has been an interesting one for the new Contemporary Art Museum in Downtown Raleigh. Proposals were made for a new complex just before the condo boom slowed down. Money was tight, so they decided to have a benefit party at a mall? All that said, tonight, CAM will host it’s first event, The AIA-Triangle Awards Banquet and Lecture, in years at its current location in the warehouse district. The public is invited, so bring your best black outfit and check out some of the best architecture in the region.
