SUMMARY:"2025 Annual Holiday Show" Featuring Clarence Mayo & Joan McLoughlin
DESCRIPTION:Art in Bloom Gallery is celebrating this holiday season through its Annual Holiday Show\, featuring the powerful exhibits of mixed-media painters Clarence Mayo and Joan McLoughlin! Combining strong color with unconventional materials\, Clarence’s playful creations draw from instinct\, cultural echoes\, and his own personal roots. Meanwhile\, inspired by the renewal of nature and the energy of abstraction\, Joan works freely to express a love of life\, imagination\, joy and hope.  \nJoin us in the gallery on Sunday\, November 9th\, 2-5pm for our Holiday Show Reception! Enjoy special refreshments\, meet our artists\, and enjoy live music by guitarist Miles Moore! Delight in the discovery of our 30+ Gallery Artists’ new holiday creations\, and shop for one-of-a-kind gifts that are sure to bring smiles all year-round! \nClarence Mayo: “The Evolution of Identity: Defining Myself” \nMy work explores the interplay of strong colors\, textures\, and unconventional materials. I experiment with plaster\, drywall compound\, silicone acrylic chalk\, modeling paste\, wallpaper adhesive\, acrylic paint\, oil stick\, and cold wax and oil – applied with whatever tool feels right in the moment: brushes\, palette knives\, credit cards\, plastic bags\, fingers\, spoons\, and forks. \nThese studies often emerge as intuitive\, primitive\, childlike\, and abstract expressionist. They reflect a deep curiosity about form and surface\, while drawing inspiration from African art symbolism\, outsider art\, and my own family history. Each piece is a layered exploration of material and memory\, shaped as much by play and instinct as by cultural echoes and personal roots. \nJoan McLoughlin: “Awakening” \nMy paintings are celebrations of color\, movement and emotion.  \nInspired by trees\, flowers\, and the energy of abstract form\, I work in a loose\, lively style that embraces freedom and spontaneity. \nThrough variations of size and vibrant hue\, I wish to express growth\, rebirth\, and new beginnings. Each canvas is a reflection of the heart\, an exploration of optimism and possibility. \nI invite viewers to feel the same sense of love of life\, imagination\, joy and hope that can be found in my paintings.

SUMMARY:Jazz at CAM: Sam Fribush Trio
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, December 4 | 7 PM \nJoin us for Jazz at CAM as we present the Sam Fribush Trio! \nExpect a high-energy set that blends deep-pocket funk\, soulful grooves\, and lush Hammond organ ballads from this modern funk organ trio. With masterful chops and a fresh\, forward-thinking approach\, Sam Fribush pushes the organ trio sound into bold new territory. \nFribush says\, “My intention is to take this music into the future. I’m trying to expand the rules about what organ trio music is.”  \nJazz at CAM is must for jazz lovers in the Wilmington area! \nCAM Café is open for dinner the night of jazz performances. If you’d like to have dinner before the show\, please reserve a table by calling (910) 777-2363. If attending the jazz show\, we recommend making your reservation time no later than 6 PM to ensure you make it to the performance on time. \nTICKETS\nCAM Members: $40\nNot-Yet Members: $60\nStudents and Educators: $15 \nABOUT THE MUSICIAN\nKeyboardist Sam Fribush is on the frontlines of the Hammond organ revival. His debut release ‘Sam Fribush Trio\, Vol. 1: Riverboat’ was produced by Charlie Hunter and recorded in North Carolina. The trio’s recent record ‘People Please’ was released March 15th\, 2024. Over the past few years\, Fribush has established himself as one of the country’s hottest young bandleaders and ‘People Please’ expands upon the trio’s deep affinity for crispy\, wah-wah driven funk\, hip-hop beats and sultry B3 ballads. In 2025\, he stepped out with DTF (Adam Deitch\, Ari Teitel and Sam Fribush) to release ‘Another Side of the Sound’ and put his stamp on the modern funk organ trio. \nBorn in Greensboro\, NC to a musical family\, Fribush began his professional career at a young age\, playing a variety of instruments including Steel Pan and Banjo. \n“To me\, Fribush epitomizes the old soul with a youthful spirit. Having grown up immersed in the sounds of everything from Dr. John to Tommy Jarrell\, his musical sensibility has an incredibly intuitive flow\, and his touch on the piano has always been beautifully unique. With that much natural talent\, he wouldn’t necessarily have had to push himself to the limits he has\, and it’s been a wonder to witness his evolution into one of the greatest working organ and keyboard players today. His sincerity cuts straight through every note he plays\, with a heartfelt smile and mischief-tinged eyes\, and his presence in any room feels like a big hug.” – Ric Robertson
