Museum School Make Week 2021 Thursday, December 9 - Thursday, December 16
Take a Workshop Learn a Craft Make a Gift

On November 13, 2021, during an emotional and moving ceremony, Cameron Art Museum unveiled Boundless, a public sculpture honoring the United States Colored Troops, by North Carolina artist Stephen Hayes. Thank you to everyone who participated and supported this important project! CAM welcomed over 1,500 visitors during a two-day community celebration that included music, dance, performances, living history by USCT reenactors, family activities and food from CAM Café, Catch, and Soulful Twist. Boundless is the first figurative sculptural work in North Carolina that commemorates and celebrates the bravery of the USCT. The eleven figures that compose Boundless are cast from reenactors and descendants of the United States Colored Troops. Boundless is made possible by the generous support of PNC Bank, Z Smith Reynolds as well as by the Wilmington community and beyond through a community organized telethon, paver sales and donations received in all dollar amounts. Governor Roy Cooper proclaimed November 13, 2021 “United States Colored Troops Remembrance Day” which is another incredible highlight from an amazing weekend at CAM. The photograph of Stephen is courtesy Curtis Krueger.

USCT Public Program Series Virtual: An Evening with Natasha Trethewey Thursday, November 18, 6 PM CAM Members: $16; Non-Members: $20 Students: $12
When planning the USCT Public Sculpture Project, CAM’s team found inspiration in Natasha Trethewey’s Pulitzer Prize winning book of poetry Native Guard, which explores the racial legacy of our country through poems that explore the experience of USCT soldiers. Pulitzer Prize-winner Natasha Trethewey served two terms as the 19th Poet Laureate of the United States (2012-2014). In his citation, Librarian of Congress James Billington wrote, “Her poems dig beneath the surface of history—personal or communal, from childhood or from a century ago—to explore the human struggles that we all face.” Trethewey was the first Southerner to receive the honor since Robert Penn Warren, in 1986, and the first African-American since Rita Dove, in 1993. Join us for an intimate reading and Q&A with this brilliant poet.
This project is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.
