Cameron Art Museum receives grant

The Cameron Art Museum has received a grant from an anonymous donor through the North Carolina Community Foundation. The grant for $31,190 will make a significant impact on the museum in a time of financial uncertainty. These funds will be used to provide valuable support for exhibitions, public programs, and educational programs for adults, children and families.

Museum Director Deborah Velders says, “We are deeply grateful for this generous support of our museum and its efforts to provide qualitative excellence in the arts. Our entire community benefits from such philanthropic leadership, generosity; and vision of our city’s continuing cultural vitality.”

The Cameron Art Museum presents 6-8 changing exhibitions annually; ongoing family and children’s programs; a unique program of tours for Alzheimer’s 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.
