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 ½ acre woodland park featuring a pond, historic Civil War site, 2100 square foot art education building, a 42,000 square foot art museum with galleries, a full service restaurant, lecture and reception hall, museum gift shop and parking. The Cameron Art Museum is the only accredited art museum in southeastern North Carolina. The Museum presents 6-8 special exhibitions annually; monthly family and children's programs (Kids @ CAM); weekly interdisciplinary programs (lectures, music, films, literature, dance); and ongoing workshops and classes in ceramics at a unique Clay Studio with a resident master artist and developing artist-in-residence program. 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.
