The Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art occupies a converted 1906 warehouse at the west end of Pearl Street. With rotating exhibitions, free admission, and a commitment to challenging work, it's a cultural anchor for Boulder's arts scene.

Contemporary Art on Pearl Street
The Space
The converted warehouse provides raw, industrial gallery space that works well for large installations. High ceilings and exposed brick create an atmosphere that complements contemporary work.
The Art
BMoCA focuses on contemporary art in all media—painting, sculpture, video, installation, and performance. Exhibitions rotate every few months, featuring regional and national artists. The work tends toward the provocative and thought-provoking.
Events
The museum hosts artist talks, opening receptions, and educational programs. Summer programming often includes outdoor events. Check their calendar before visiting.
Pro Tip: Combine with a walk on the west end of Pearl Street—there are fewer tourists here than the pedestrian mall. The Dushanbe Teahouse is nearby for an after-museum treat. Opening receptions are free and festive.
