In 2002, the Cameron Art Museum opened its new museum facility designed by the renowned architectural firm of Gwathmey Siegel & Associates (NYC). Formerly located in downtown Wilmington, N.C. as St. John's Museum of Art, the new Cameron Art Museum is sited on a 9 acre woodland park (Pyramid Park) featuring outdoor sculptures, nature trails, pond, historic Civil War site and a second facility--the Clay Studio at the Pancoe Art Education Center. The main museum building is a 42,000 square foot facility with three areas of galleries, the Weyerhaueser lecture and reception hall, a museum gift shop and parking.
The Cameron Art Museum presents 6-8 changing exhibitions annually; ongoing family and children's programs (Kids @ CAM); a unique program of tours for Alzheimers patients and their caretakers; interdisciplinary programs (lectures, music, films, literature, dance); and ongoing workshops and classes in ceramics at the Clay Studio with resident master artist Hiroshi Sueyoshi.
The Museum's permanent collection of fine arts, crafts and design includes work of both historical and contemporary significance, and a growing collection of work by North Carolina artists. Specific works in the permanent collection are shown in selected exhibitions at the Museum.
