JOIN US THIS SEPTEMBER FOR FAMILY-FRIENDLY PROGRAMS

DESIGNED FOR OUR YOUNGEST VISITORS!

Kids at CAM: Thomas Sayre

Saturday, September 21

10 AM - Noon

Join us this month for Kids at CAM: Thomas Sayre, a family-friendly good time with art activities for all ages, parents included!

Our museum staff will facilitate the activities, ensuring a fun and engaging experience. You can also take part in a guided tour of the exhibitions at 11:30 am, where you’ll gain deeper insights into the art.

Participate in the activities, the tour, or both—your choice!

Inspired by the incredible work of North Carolina artist Thomas Sayre, we’ll dive into creative chalk art and other outdoor activities. Experience hands-on activities and discover the joy of making art in the great outdoors.

We’ll host the event outdoors, weather permitting, so come prepared to let your artistic side shine. This is a fantastic opportunity for families to bond over art, explore new creative skills, and enjoy a day filled with inspiration and fun.

For questions with this programming, please contact Ashley Rowland at 910-726-9490 or education@cameronartmuseum.org
