| CAM Community Quilts, 2024 NOW ON VIEW |
|
| Check out what's new at CAM! We recently installed these two beautiful quilts near our front entrance to welcome everyone to the museum.
These quilts were created this summer in conjunction with The Work of Their Hands: American Quiltmaking (February 23 – October 20, 2024). This was a collaborative art project featuring the work of our community members and visitors and was quilted by Dr. Bobbi Fitzsimmons and Anne Watson.
CAM Community Quilts, 2024 incorporate stitched and drawn works created by artists from ages 5 to 75 in squares forming rectangular patterns. Celebrating individuality, community and the universality of textiles and design, these quilts are artistic expressions of our vibrant community.
September Krueger, CAM's Director of Lifelong Learning, says, "There was an incredible outpouring of excitement from new and experienced quilters for this community project! Each square was thoughtfully created, and the spirit of collaboration at the event was like a quilting bee of the past." |

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.
