The College of Wooster Art Museum (CWAM) began as a small gallery in the 1930s to support the educational programs of the College. Since then, the museum has grown in space, collections, and mission, bringing diverse, high-quality exhibitions to The College of Wooster and to the community at large. 

Nationally and internationally recognized contemporary artists that have exhibited at the CWAM include: Ann Hamilton, William Kentridge, David Shrigley, Lorna Simpson, Jim Campbell, Laylah Ali, Marcel Dzama, Hiraki Sawa, Shirin Neshat, David Nash, Willie Cole, Kara Walker, Yoko Ono, and Roxy Paine.
