CAM is dedicated to interpreting the contribution of the USCT through art, living history, and educational opportunities. Mission: The Cameron Art Museum (CAM) provides a cultural gathering place that enriches the lives of museum visitors and the community through high-quality exhibitions, lifelong learning in the arts, dynamic public programs, and stewardship and interpretation of the collection.ĬAM is also the steward of an important African American heritage site, the Battle of Forks Road. We use art as a means of sparking dialogue and creating community conversations that create a fuller understanding of our common history and our shared humanity. Sad.Cameron Art Museum believes that art can open the door to conversation. If you are a casual activity seeker, avoid at all costs (which, by the way is a totally undeserved $10 charge). ![]() If you are an art lover, do not consider visiting. It was nothing but depressing to see so few (mediocre) art pieces, poorly curated (spelling and grammar errors abound) in mostly empty space. Despite lingering over every piece in the museum, reading every placard and strolling the grounds, I couldn't fill a full hour. There were exactly 3 curated exhibits when I visited: 1) a meager dozen prints from a local private collection 2) several rooms replete with hundreds of sketches and finished works of one artist depicting images from all 41 NC state parks 3) a very large 20'X40' room with ONE bust, a bronze cast of Abraham Lincoln's face, some ancillary magazine covers, a tedious film loop and 2 benches. At least half of the building is taken up with gift shop, cafe, restrooms, offices and classroom. There were works of perhaps twenty artists total on display, many just a single piece. ![]()
