Sunset Performance Series

Christa Gabrielle Faison featuring guitarist Justin Lacy

Thursday, March 30, 7 PM

Free

Join us for the Sundown Performance Series at CAM, a new FREE performance series designed to connect art and social justice, presented by TD Bank. The performance will take place in the PNC USCT Park directly in front of Boundless, the public sculpture honoring the United States Colored Troops and their fight for freedom. The series is free and open to the public. Beer, wine and a selection of light bites will be available at CAM Cafe.

The Sundown Performance Series kicks off Thursday, March 30 at 7 PM with violinist Christa Faison performing a selection of gospel and spiritual classics and more. When words fell short, songs carried the hearts and minds of those who marched for better tomorrows. Christa Faison, an educator herself, uses her sound to advocate for music education which for young and old alike, can be used as a form of protest and resiliency. African American music has always been at the forefront of change in our communities and will continue to be as long as change is needed.

In Conversation Series

Stephen Hayes with Daniel Jones

Thursday, April 13, 2023, 6 PM

CAM Members: $15;

Not-Yet Members: $20

Stephen L. Hayes, Jr. makes art from found materials that draw on social and economic themes ingrained in the history of America and African-Americans. His approach is simple: “If I can’t find it, I’ll make it. If I can’t make it, I’ll find it.”

Frequently in his work, Hayes uses three symbols: a pawn, a corn, and a horse to explore America’s use (or misuse) of black bodies, black minds, and black labor. Artists, he believes, are as much translators as they are creators.

Daniel Jones has a passion for history, which led him to a career as an educator at Cameron Art Museum, where he serves as a Cultural Curator. Jones, who earned his bachelor’s degree in history from UNCW in 2018, previously worked at the Wrightsville Beach Museum of History, the Cape Fear Museum, the Wilmington Railroad Museum and the Burgwin Wright House.
