| Kaleidoscope: Changing Views of the Permanent Collection
This exhibition features selected paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures, photographs, furniture, decorative arts and other objects drawn from the museum's permanent collection. The exhibition's configuration will change throughout the year, as individual works are rotated. This approach is taken to protect fragile works from prolonged exposure to light; to allow additional works to be exhibited; and to elicit new, unexpected associations between works of art. Call 910.395.5999 for more information. Cameron Art Museum 3201 S. 17th Street Wilmington, NC 28412 www.cameronartmuseum.com |

| Gwathmey Siegel: Inspiration & Transformation
The exhibition explores several interrelated themes in the work of Gwathmey Siegel: the counterpoint of passion and process in art and architecture; the symbiotic relationship of art and architecture in 20th century modernism; and the impact of changing technology upon architectural practice. Exhibition curator Douglas Sprunt focuses on five "transitional and transformative" projects in this exhibition, each of which marks a transition in the work of Gwathmey Siegel as seen in projects spanning more than forty years.
