VIEW SUMMER WORKSHOP CATALOG
The Museum School at Cameron Art Museum was inspired by a tradition which thrived from 1938-1942 at the Wilmington Museum of Art School. The CAM Museum School offers ongoing, high-level art education from qualified professional instructors, who are also working artists in our community. Much like the first museum school in Wilmington, instruction is offered in the fundamentals as well as in more deeply engaged levels, as students are encouraged to develop skills through continued classes and workshops. Unique to Museum School is the museum collection and ever changing exhibitions accessed as teaching tools in classes and weekend workshops. |

Thomas Sayre: Four Walls
Thomas Sayre: Four Walls features new and never exhibited works by American artist Thomas Sayre (American, b. 1950). Each of the four large-scale pieces installed in Cameron Art Museum’s Hughes Wing engage the belief systems and symbols that underpin the ideals of church, nation, and creation. Made of materials that include tar, smoke, fabric gowns, gunshots, welding material, earth and fire, these works invite visitors to draw close and experience the messiness of making, and by analogy, to bear witness to the ways that life invades, entangles, and tarnishes us.
