I must've driven by the Cameron 1000 times over the decade I lived near Wilmington, and always scratched my head wondering what architect designed this place, and was approved by the Cameron folks to go ahead and build. It's a drab, grey, contemporary building that seems completely out of sorts with its surroundings... I went inside, only because a visitor... More

A Sunday afternoon and a visit to the Cameron Art Museum was a wonderful opportunity. Several friends, and I, visited for the first time and were very pleased. There were two exhibits (they change every three months) and both were worthwhile and enjoyable. They have a very nice gift shop area with a fine selection, several areas to review and... More

Went to see the church ladies hat exhibit which was fabulous. The photographs were outstanding. The collection of fans was great as well. I understand that the exhibits are wonderful here and I would have to agree. This was my first visit. I wanted to buy a book with the photos and stories that went with the picture but they... More

I first visited the museum in September with friends and was so impressed that I immediately became a museum member. The facility is beautiful and the exibits are unique and enjoyable. They have recently begun art classes for the public. I took their drawing class and was very pleased with it. We are attending a jazz concert there tonight. This... More

My favorite was Terrell James. if you enjoy abstract art, I would highly recommend this... More

My husband and I went to the Cameron Art Museum on a Sunday afternoon, before heading back home. Not only was it a beautiful structure with hardwood floors, but the galleries were attractively done. Susan greeted us and talked to us about the artists whose selections were being shown. We really enjoyed the experience and would definitely return in the... More
