| A House of One Room: Elizabeth Bradford
This new virtual exhibition is a sneak preview into what will be a full-scale exhibition by Elizabeth Bradford during CAM's exhibition schedule in later 2020-2021. Bradford's masterful paintings originate from an intimate observation and profound reverence for the natural environment. The title is drawn from a quote from John Muir's unpublished journals from 1938: "W e all dwell in a house of one room - the world with the firmament for its roof - and are sailing the celestial spaces without leaving any track."These selections offer an invitation to share Bradford's journey as she explores the wonder of the natural world. The reverence she has for the environment and all of its inhabitants, can inspire a deeper awareness of our interconnectedness and responsibility for its preservation and survival. This exhibition is made possible thanks to the generous underwriting of the Wells Fargo Foundation. Wells Fargo is proud to support access to arts experiences and advocate for environmental preservation. Check out the exhibition here.

| CAM Needs Your Help #GivingTuesdayNow Due to the COVID-19 crisis, CAM made deep budget cuts. We're working now to ensure CAM's future, but we need your help. #GivingTuesdayNow is an international social media campaign to promote giving, culminating with a day of giving on May 5, 2020.
We need to raise $25,000 by June 30, and you can help us do it. There are a few ways you can help. If you're able to give to the future of the museum, please donate here, become a member here, or share the gift of membership with a loved one here. If you're on Facebook, host a fundraiser on your page for CAM for #GivingTuesdayNow or for your birthday and invite your friends and family to give.
Working together, we can keep our doors open for the future. Contact john@cameronartmuseum.org for more information on how you can help. Art can bring us together, no matter the distance. Art can comfort us, connect us, allows us to share our experiences, and to see our shared humanity and common history. We thank you for your steadfast support and belief in Cameron Art Museum.
