Friends of Castlemaine Art Museum (FOCAM)

The Friends of Castlemaine Art Museum (FOCAM) is a welcoming community group for CAM members who would like to become more involved with the museum and enjoy art-related social events throughout the year.

FOCAM supports the work of Castlemaine Art Museum through a lively program of talks, excursions and fundraising events that bring people together around a shared love of art and culture.

For a small annual fee, FOCAM members enjoy a range of benefits while also helping raise valuable funds to support the museum.

Why join FOCAM?

As a member you will have access to a range of social and cultural activities, including:

  • Priority and discounted bookings for FOCAM fundraising events

  • CAM Conversations, a regular series where artists, curators and experts share insights into art and culture

  • Bus excursions to exhibitions and cultural destinations

  • Organised car-pool visits to nearby galleries and artists’ studios

  • Our annual Christmas lunch, held exclusively for FOCAM members

Members are also welcome to contribute ideas and become involved with the FOCAM Committee, which helps organise events and activities throughout the year.

All funds raised through FOCAM events directly support the work of Castlemaine Art Museum. Membership fees help cover administration and insurance costs.
