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.

Elisabeth Chant (February 7, 2025 – April 27, 2025) North Carolina artist Elisabeth Chant (1865-1947) made an indelible mark on Wilmington’s art community. She became known for her vibrant landscapes and scenes of the North Carolina coast.

She was instrumental in developing Wilmington’s cultural landscape, founding art classes, mentoring young artists, and establishing a community art association.

| ASIAN PAPER MANIPULATION–MOMIGAMI & JOOMCHI Instructor: Jan Wutkowski Asian mulberry papers have special properties that Western papers do not. These properties allow us to manipulate them into very strong pieces for arts & crafts projects. Momigami is the process of crushing kozo papers while also adding a natural strengthening agent. Hanji papers will be ‘felted’ into Joomchi, a cloth- or leather-like product. Both processes allow you to create remarkably strong and beautifully delicate-looking pieces. It's not paper making. Friday, February 7, 1-4 PM, Saturday, February 8, 10 AM – 4 PM and Sunday Feb 9, 10 AM – 3 PM Adult: All Levels CAM Member $148. Not-yet member $185 Click Here for Supply Information and to Learn More |
