CURRENT EXHIBITIONS:
The Bones OfSculpture by Dustin FarnsworthHughes Wing On view through June 5, 2016CAM debuts its new acquisition to the permanent collection in context of seven other works by this rising artist. Inspired by 19th century architecture of the theatre, Farnsworth reflects, "I create a lush, emotionally-charged rabbit hole to fall into and explore. These sculptures act as anthropological studies of cultural, familial and social heredity of a culture in the interim of post-industry and the coming age." Farnsworth, a recent resident artist at Penland School of Craft (2012-2015) is now continuing his studio practice as a Windgate resident and Honorary Fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2015-2016).
Raise the Curtain! Hughes Wing On view through July 10, 2016Considered to be the oldest front curtain for a theatre in the Americas, the original 1858 curtain from historic Thalian Hall Center for the Performing Arts, Wilmington, NC, travels to CAM for conservation. Painted by Hudson River inspired artist, Russell Smith (Glasgow, Scotland 1812 - Glenside, PA, 1896), the 14 x 32 foot curtain features a scene from ancient Greece: A bustling harbor at the foot of Apollo's temple where stripe-sailed galleys dock to hear oracles read on the eve of the Olympic games. Visitors can compare old and new in witnessing local artists paint a new full scale replica of Thalian's original curtain in the exhibition galleries.
This project was supported by the NC Arts Council, a division of the Department of Cultural Resources
