SUMMARY:“Perspectives” Featuring Joanne Geisel
DESCRIPTION:Gallery artist & instructor Joanne Geisel is exploring brand new dimensions to her designs! Joanne uses oil paints to capture our Carolina coastlines\, working from her photos or life to authentically render each scene. Now\, alongside her impressionist landscapes\, view expressive scenes from Joanne’s imagination\, using abstract colors and sweeping curves to visualize natural motions. Says Joanne: \nThe joy of creating is to go deep within and find new ideas and emotions. What was once the reality of a beautiful landscape\, for example\, could become something else. It is a change of perspective that can defy logic. My goal is always to create an oil painting that I consider beautiful and shows my deep connection to nature\, whether it is a landscape or an abstracted version of one. \nJoin us in the gallery on Sunday\, June 14th\, 2-5pm for our Artist Reception celebrating “Perspectives.” Enjoy special refreshments\, meet our artists\, and enjoy live music by guitarist Miles Moore! This exhibit will run through July 26th\, alongside a new selection of works by our 30+ Gallery Artists.

SUMMARY:CAM at the Movies - "Legacy"
DESCRIPTION:Legacy is a short film chronicling the oral histories of the descendants of the United States Colored Troops by filmmaker Adam Alphin\, produced by Daniel Jones and Heather Wilson of Cameron Art Museum. Legacy braids the narratives of several USCT soldiers: Ceasar Evans\, a 19-year-old who escaped slavery to join the USCT and then resettled in the Cape Fear Region; Joseph Cherry and Jesse Smallwood\, who after their service helped to build community in Indian Woods\, outside of New Bern; Rev. William Hammond Hunter of the 4th USCT\, whose service to the community of faith in Wilmington led to the founding of St. Stephen AME Church; and Charles H. Whitney of the 37th USCT\, a white abolitionist from Massachusetts. Legacy captures the resilience of these men\, the strength of the communities they built\, and the impact that they have had on our region\, our state\, and our country. \nThis screening is part of the CAM at the Movies series\, is a co-partnership screening with the Cameron Art Museum. A post-screening discussion will feature Alphin and Jones\, offering insight into the film’s research and its connection to CAM’s ongoing interpretive work.

SUMMARY:"Sorry to Bother You" screening at Jengo's Playhouse
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Art House Theater Day at Jengo’s Playhouse with a special screening of Sorry to Bother You on Thursday\, July 30 at 4pm and 7:30pm. \nArt House Theater Day is an annual celebration uniting independent cinemas and movie lovers around the world in support of the vibrant art house film community. This year’s Art House Theater Day Ambassador is Boots Riley\, making this wildly original and sharply satirical debut feature the perfect centerpiece for the occasion. \nStarring LaKeith Stanfield\, Tessa Thompson\, Danny Glover\, Steven Yeun\, and more\, the genre-bending sci-fi comedy follows a young Black telemarketer who discovers the key to professional success by using his “white voice.” But as he rockets up the corporate ladder\, he’s pulled into a bizarre conspiracy that forces him to decide between personal ambition and solidarity with his activist friends fighting to unionize.
