Come meet and hear writers and discuss their responses to visual art! CAM is adding new voices to the exhibition She tells a story: Hannah dela cruz Abrams, fiction, nonfiction and poetry, Christine Hennessey, fiction, Kathleen Jones, poetry, Katie O'Reilly, creative nonfiction and Isabelle Shepherd, poetry to augment the work of the fourteen writers whose written pieces are already part of the exhibition. The writers selected from the art works on view and wrote their response for inclusion.

CURRENT EXHIBITIONS:


 
She tells a story
Brown Wing
On view through September 11, 2016 Caroline Vaughan, Imogen Cunningham at 88
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  Patchwork No. America, exhibit  
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.
