SUMMARY:The (M) Factor 2: Before the Pause (Perimenopause)
DESCRIPTION:The (M) Factor 2: Before the Pause (Perimenopause) is presented by Dr. Amy Hawkins\, ND\, MSCP with co-hosts Caroline Keeler\, PT and Dr. Nadine Antonelli\, MD\, FACOG\, MSCP. \n“This film begins the conversation when women need it most and when prevention and planning can make the biggest impact\,” says producer Denise Pines. \nWe’re passionate about bringing you this documentary film screening because we work with women every day who’ve been told that symptoms like exhaustion\, brain fog\, anxiety\, insomnia\, weight gain\, or simply feeling like something is “off” is normal and “just part of getting older.” We know that this isn’t true and that women can thrive in midlife with the right knowledge and support. Perimenopause can begin as early as a woman’s mid-30s and last up to a decade\, and even though every woman will go through this transition\, it still remains widely underdiagnosed and misunderstood. This evening with us is a chance for you to explore the truth around perimenopause and then have a meaningful conversation and Q&A with your hosts. If you’ve been looking for clarity and guidance in this phase of life\, then this event is for you. \nSeats are limited\, so gather up your perimenopause besties and get your tickets today! \nDoors open: 5:30 PM \nWelcome and Introductions: 6:00 PM \nScreening start time: 6:15 PM \nPost-screening discussion: 7:15 PM

SUMMARY:Sunset Performance Series: Durty Dub’s Tribute to Charley Pride
DESCRIPTION:At PNC USCT Park\, on CAM grounds | FREE; $5 Suggested Donation \nJoin us outside at the PNC USCT Park for an evening of classic country reimagined. In this intimate duo performance\, Durty Dub and powerhouse vocalist Myk’l Hanna breathe new life into the music of Charley Pride\, one of country’s most prolific and groundbreaking artists. With heartfelt storytelling and rich harmonies\, they’ll take you through Pride’s hits with a blend of soul\, gospel\, and reggae influences that feel both reverent and fresh. \nDurty Dub renders Charley Pride’s classic country anthems faithfully while refreshing some pieces with reggae\, soul and gospel adaptations. Tonight\, he’ll offer an intimate duo performance with vocalist Myk’l Hanna\, adding some background and fun stories about the man himself. Roll Pride! \nAs the sun sets over the Boundless installation by Stephen Hayes\, settle in for live music that celebrates legacy and genre-defying creativity. Bring your own chair or blanket and enjoy the laid-back\, community vibe CAM’s Sunset Performance Series is known for. Free and open to all. \nMore About the Artists:\nDurty Dub first learned who Charley Pride was from his grandmother after one fateful thanksgiving dinner in 2016. An article in Jet magazine led her to recount Pride’s incredible legacy\, including 36 #1 hit singles\, over 70 million albums sold\, 31 gold and 4 platinum albums – including one quadruple platinum. Also\, on RCA Records he is second in sales on RCA only to Elvis Presley. \nFascinated by the storied success of one of country music’s few (at the time) black artists\, Dub set out to digest Pride’s extensive catalog and learn more about the man. The next step was to put a tribute band together\, consisting of NC’s most versatile musicians\, including vocalist Michael Hanna\, percussionist Atiba Rorie [Africa Unplugged]\, bassist Kenny Phelps-McKeown [Ellis Dyson & The Shambles] & drummer Devin Fuller [Emily Musolino]. The band has also been joined on occasion by slide-guitar slinger\, Phil Cook [Bruce Hornsby\, Hiss Golden Messenger]. \nWith this personnel\, Dub soon found that he was able to render Pride’s classic country anthems faithfully while refreshing some of the pieces with reggae\, soul and gospel adaptations. Since then\, the project has gone on to share the stage with H.C. McEntire\, Gangstagrass\, and play the mainstage at the 2019 Beaufort Music Festival.

SUMMARY:Reception: Pop Up Exhibit – Fabio Napoleoni
DESCRIPTION:Beginning March 6th\, in collaboration with The Gallery of Fine Art\, we are thrilled to offer a pop up art exhibit with the works of Fabio Napoleoni.  This exhibit will feature a variety of limited edition prints by the artist. \nWhat the heart wants and the heart needs can be found in a Fabio Napoleoni painting. Nostalgia\, sorrow and moments that lift the soul are all there for the world to see and experience along with him. The vivid colors and captivating characters invite you into an emotional ride that is welcomed by the mind and the heart. Simple landscapes set the stage to the value of emotional attachment that can be compared to no other. Influences from some of this century’s greatest artists are hard to find in his pieces\, but are drenched deep in the fabric of what puts a Napoleoni painting together. \nThis exhibit will run through April 19th\, alongside a new selection of featured works by our 30+ Gallery Artists! \nJoin us in the gallery on Sunday\, March 29th\, 2-5pm for a Special Reception. This event is free and open to the public.
