Reviews of Craft Contemporary (Museum)

Chris Goodrich

Interesting, cutting-edge shows. Small and intimate; great little gift shop.

Tara Kelley

Loved this museum and variety of exhibits. On the smaller side so expect to spend an hour or less here. Definitely drop in!

Tim Buns

The workers here are beautiful souls! Such nice people. The exhibit they have for Pride is very interesting and the artists that are showcased are very talented. Also, i got this free paper weight

Paula Paula

Van Lopes

Good place to be with friends.

Rudolph Shutta

Great place to visit and just enjoy makers art

M.J. Kang

This is a small museum, with delightful work. It surprised me how much I love this museum. The art showcased is astonishing in terms of depth, detail, and process. It's a museum that makes you slow down and take many deep looks in their offerings. Their book store also has hidden treasures.

Joy Flabetich

Not worth the time. If you walk slow& look through the window, you've seen it.

Lovely place to visit on Miracle Mile. Not too far away from LACMA and La Brea Tar pits. Definitely very visible from Wilshire Boulevard, it is the big yellow house, (Wilshire &Curson) Check out the giftshop too.

Christopher Baek

Attended a craft night here. They do a craft night on the first Thursday of every month for $12 (for non members). Includes drinks and a snack. Good idea for a date night!

Melissa Chiou

Go here if you want to see arts and craft exhibits.

Ерундовая экспозиция мусора и предметов, которые можно назвать фенечками, но не искусством. Не стоит посещения совсем. Можно зайти в их магазин, он интереснее экспозиции

Took an intro clay class back in September and never received the fired items that I made. They said it would take about 2 weeks to fire all the pieces and then they would email us. Never received an email and it’s been months. They also double charged my card for the class and never resolved it. I contacted them multiple times about the issue and they stated they would take care of it but they never did. The instructors at the class were great and knowledgeable. However, the follow through and lack of communication is unacceptable. If you are going to have a class like this at least attempt to send out a mass email to participants to keep them informed. With all the different art class experiences in LA I would not go back here.

Rosa Herrera

Love it

Penina S. Finger

Intimate space, great exhibits. A nice counterpoint to the big space at LACMA. I often find more to mull here at CAFAM. Plus, they have lots of regular events, including craft nights, talks, tours, and music.

Linda Thieben

A must see boutique craft and folk art museum. Great gift shop

Papeeyay Peek

If you're a DIY nut or crafter, run, don't walk to CAFAM. Get workshops and classes and even better exhibits. Love this place!

Dean Whitman

Love the art and just looking around

Arlene Calderon

Marisela in the front is so nice. Steered me in the right direction!

Steffanie Dotson

They always have really strong exhibitions and their gift shop is one of my favorite places to shop!

fernando baquero

Great staff! Always unexpected and informative.

Lauren Dana Boynton

Went to a workshop that was very affordable and fun! Museum shop is full of cute stuff too!

Jess Burke

Very worth a visit, absolutely worth multiple visits because of their pay what you can pricing and rotation exhibits/shows/collections!

Zelie Pforzheimer

Did not love. Not very craft centric in the traditional sense of the word. A photography exhibit and a very sparsely arranged metal construction exhibit that was really reaching to be worthy of exhibiting. Just not interesting and not enough pieces.. read and viewed everything and was out in way under two hours. Disappointed. Shop was quite nice.

AC Cotrix

Very Good.

C Vasoyan

Come here first, then go to LACMA, you won't be disappointed.

Lisa Young

Support handmade!

Pearl Huang

Cool place !

Carole Ann Klonarides

Unique exhibitions and a wonderful gift shop!

D Aranguri

Don't expect quilts and quaint wooden toys hand-decorated with milk paint. This museum holds its own in quality and depth of consideration of its narrow category of art, even though it sits almost literally in the shadow of the gigantic (in the abstract and concrete meaning of the word) Los Angeles County Museum of Art across the street. I have found them to be especially good at putting up good pieces from the African continent. The most recent visit I made there was occasioned by a reading given by a UCLA poet, an event that made great use of a wonderful upstairs gallery space. Not sure whether the poetry did more to enhance the art or the other way around, but I can vouch for the fact that it was a great way to spend an evening. I'll be back for more.

Natalie Kennedy

Quaint and Quirky Museum with a stunning appearance and awesome style throughout. An interesting place you must experience.

keith Morals

Beautiful & Wonderful little museum in LA, the workshop they had with baker, pottery, beer, farmer, cheese maker, was completely hands-on, amazing experience and such a mind-thrill to think of how the disciplines can integrate.

Gabbie Ubario

It was an awesome experience!

Dyanna Wilson

I had a blast and I met some wonderful and friendly people also learning how to make a clay box. Eunice Lee our clay instructor was funny, supportive and friendly and this also includes her volunteers. I would definitely recommend this workshop

Erin Kelley

Excellent art, very intriguing and diverse artists as well as a commitment to displaying art from artists who would likely be ignored by more elitist art museums. Good atmosphere, considerate staff, very relaxed environment. Easy to navigate. Parking reasonably nearby. What art galleries should be.

Jonathan Tsai

Beautiful & Wonderful little museum in LA, the workshop they had with baker, pottery, beer, farmer, cheese maker, was completely hands-on, amazing experience and such a mind-thrill to think of how the disciplines can integrate, interact, and build creatively off of each other. The staff were incredible, really friendly and gave us a very comfortable community opportunity. Highly recommend their events.

Gloria Campbell

One of my favorite places in Los Angeles. Unusual exhibits and the workshops are fun.

Elisa CHO

전시 순서 맞으면 보고 아니면 둘러만 볼려고 했는데 내가 도착하기 딱 몇분전에 시작해서 물품shop만 돌아봐도 되냐 물어보니 떨떠름하게 그러라고 하더니 (입구 바로 옆에 벽도 없었음) 물건 보는 내내 나 쳐다보고 째려보고 아주...... 물건은 전부 다 이뻐서 다시 가고 싶은데 직원은 넘나 불친절해..

Imeon Simon

The place was open but their museum is closed until October 2018

Alexander Pearson

Not a lot to do here, unfortunately. Staff is friendly, premises are clean, just suffers from being small.

Doria Rosa

L.A.s contemporary. Talks, and handmade.

Erica Dominguez

Smaller than you think but it's a lot of neat art. Plus this is a look at art you normally dont get to look at presented with the sophistication they deserve. Sundays are donation pay what you can if you're on a budget!

Alex Johnson

Our kids enjoyed this place. Thank you.

Marcia M Rodriguez

I LOVE it

Adam Wachter

Nice place to walk around.

Jill Jaeger

It was donate what you can day so that lured us in. My friend was very excited and looked at all the wares for sale. The fuzzy exhibit was neat. One friend was very impressed with the art upstairs but my other friend was not. The art did not seem to fit "folk". There were beautiful canvases with meaningful messages, but very modern and did not fit the "craft" definition I expected. The art did not call to me, I was most impressed with the beautiful wood floors and the colors used to fill the cracks and chips on the cement.

Lisa Ventura

Great programs for school field trips. Amazing staff, fascinating exhibits. A must do for art lovers!

J W

Nice and little museum only in name. Rich art and design. Worth the visit. (Just double dip here to the Page Museum and pay parking once.)

Madeline Sprints

This was a really nice experience. I look forward to returning.

Crystal Martinez

I planned this out for my family last month only to leave after 5 min. I felt so uncomfortable and unwelcomed. I will never recommend anyone to come here it was such an ugly experience.

J David Eisenberg

Small museum, well curated. Interesting exhibits. Take about an hour or less to see it.

byung-kyu Ahn

small but unique

Isabella labriola

Always find really interesting things, cover is a little pricy given the size but they have a great little shop as well

Robert Lovell

Small, interesting, building itself the best part.

maria antonieta bone de la torre

Excellent exhibits. People can't miss it. Everything is worthy of awe. Beautiful place to visit and buy handcrafted articles.

Maria Consuelo Gonima

Strong content and experiences.

Jennifer Winther

Great event making clay cups, spoons, saucers. Complimentary wine a nice touch. Lovely hosts.

Jennifer Scott

such an awesome museum! always has great exhibits, and offers great classes/workshops. the staff is fantastic and the gift store is awesome too!

Julian Stone-Kronberg

A very nice small museum. I have been six or so times and each time the exhibits were interesting. Exhibits generally give a good perspective on a particular craft, it's history, with good examples of work from modern practioners. For instance the bamboo weaving exhibit had work from 10 or so different artists, videos of work being done, and a brief historical summary. Also has a good gift shop

Deisy Garcia

A very small museum. Very cool exhibits.

Alanna Russell

On Sunday's the museum is 'donate what you can' entry. Ultimately it's not that big of a museum though. Interesting work, but I don't know if it's worth a full price entry- but hey, you're supporting the arts.

Tim Hilton

A fine resource for Los Angeles

tallulah mae

Hidden gem of a museum with great curation

Noa Levy

Good for people that like museums but want to see something a little different. Really enjoyed it there. Very nice and welcoming staff.

Tony Package

Excellent program and exhibit.nice people and friendly staff...a hidden gem!

Mike Pataky

Excellent museum to visit along with a super friendly staff.

Madoc Pope

A very funky little museum right across from the Tar Pits. Worth the walk through to see what new installations they've up.
