CURRENT EXHIBITIONS:
She tells a story Brown Wing On view through September 11, 2016  She tells a story celebrates the work of fifty-two visual artists from CAM's permanent collection and connects the forms of visual and literary arts. Exploring the catalytic relationship between visual imagery and text, CAM invited fourteen Wilmington-area writers to compose new work inspired by these selections. This juxtaposition of visual with word illuminates how artists communicate their experiences, perspectives and world views through their chosen medium.
Writers participating in this exhibition include: Anna Lena Phillips Bell; Karen E. Bender; Wendy Brenner; May-lee Chai; Cara Cilano; Amrita Das; Nina de Gramont; Dina Greenberg; Celia Rivenbark; Gwenyfar Rohler; Emily Louise Smith; Bertha Boynkin Todd; Kelly Rae Williams; and Margo Williams. Sponsored in part by Corning.
Patchwork North America
Paintings by Virginia Wright-Frierson Brown Wing Film Room On view through September 11, 2016  From extensive travel by road and by air, Virginia Wright-Frierson (American, b. 1949) has created over one hundred paintings framing scenes, as if looking through a window, across the United States and Canada. She describes her intent, "We do see pollution and trash, factories, car accidents and roadwork, graffiti even on cactus and near petroglyphs, and much of North America is prairie that seems empty and unchanging for miles on end. But what I want to paint is the power of nature evidenced in storms, erosion, rock formations, and water; the adaptation of plants and animals to any environment, from the high mountains and glacial lakes of Banff, Alberta to the deserts of Arizona, the unspoiled vastness and endless variation, and the spirit and celebration of survival." Wright-Frierson's broad-ranging career is distinguished as painter, award-winning children's book author, illustrator, and large-scale public installation artist to include her celebrated bottle house inspired by artist Minnie Evans at Airlie Gardens, Wilmington, NC, and her extraordinary ceiling mural of evergreens and aspens reaching for the sunlight, installed at Columbine High School, Littleton, Colorado.
Your Voice Your Stories Hughes Wing On view through July 17, 2016  Your Voice Your Stories is a participatory installation that offers a safe place for visitors to express, entertain and understand. Following the prompt of eight questions, visitors can write or draw their responses directly onto the gallery walls. CAM invites you to share your thoughts, your dreams, your hopes, your voice, your stories. Hughes Wing  On view through July 17, 2016 Considered to be the oldest front curtain for a theater in the Americas, the original 1858 curtain from historic Thalian Hall Center for the Performing Arts, Wilmington, NC, has traveled to Cameron Art Museum for remedial art conservation and presentation to the public. Painted by Hudson River inspired artist, Russell Smith (Glasgow, Scotland 1812 - Glenside, PA 1896) the 14 foot x 32 foot curtain features a scene of mystic ceremony from ancient Greece. Painted in distemper on hand-sewn muslin, the curtain was originally 23 feet x 29 feet. This exhibition is sponsored in part by: Ronna, Herbert, Bradley and Landon Zimmer.
This project was supported by the NC Arts Council, a division of the Department of Cultural Resources |
