The Betty Eichenberger Adams Society

CAM’s Women-Only Membership

The Betty Eichenberger Adams Society (BEAS) is CAM’s women-only membership group with the mission to generate, educate, and promote interest in contemporary art in Raleigh and beyond. The BEAS seek to establish and maintain a base of support for CAM, becoming pillars of strength for CAM now, and for future generations.

Betty Eichenberger Adams is an extraordinary example of a visionary who embraced contemporary art wholeheartedly.
