Be a Curator for the Upcoming Exhibition
Wilmington Collects Art
In the life of museums, it is the rare opportunity for the public to directly participate in the process of selecting artwork to be hung in a particular exhibition-until now.
Cameron Art Museum has a permanent collection of about 1,200 works of art which fall primarily into core collections of North Carolina Art, ceramics, works on paper and American art. CAM has chosen to develop an exhibition, with your help, that has a focus on another of its core collection of work by artists associated with Wilmington (both deceased and living), currently numbering work by 52 artists.
Between April 3 and 28 everyone on the planet is invited to participate in the first ever CAM crowdsourced exhibition titled, Wilmington Collects Art.
Participants select and vote for (3) works from the gallery of 52 images. The twenty-five artworks with the most "votes" will be installed in the Claude Howell Gallery of the Cameron Art Museum Brown wing from May 2-June 1, with an opening reception on Friday May 2, from 6-8 p.m. The reception will be supported by live music performed by local artists, cash bar and food. All of the artists included are invited to attend the reception as honored guests along with complimentary admission to anyone who voted. The entire collection of fifty-two artworks will also be shown in the exhibition via a digital gallery for visitors to enjoy.
