SUMMARY:Living Waters: Artist Tour & Talk with R. Stein Wexler
DESCRIPTION:Join artist R. Stein Wexler for an artist talk on Living Waters\, an immersive installation that reflects on the unifying and essential role of water in human life. \nThe installation sits within an emergency shelter that includes 7 jerricans of water gathered along the Cape Fear River watershed\, a video installation of the surface of that body of water\, and an audio collage composed of recorded water rituals and the sounds of water. \nBegin with a guided tour at 1 PM led by the artist\, registration required. \nAfter\, Wexler will discuss her work and process in a moderated conversation at 2 PM with Gene Felice\, artist and Assistant Professor of Digital Art at UNCW.\nJoin us for the tour\, the artist talk\, or both. Links below to register. \nABOUT THE ARTIST:\nR Stein Wexler (she/her) is a public- and installation-artist trained as an urban planner. Her projects are research-based\, community-engaged\, and critical of dominant structures. She creates place-based work in collaboration with local communities to tell (hi)stories. Shaped by empathy\, deep listening\, and authentic connection\, her work results in gatherings\, process documentation\, immersive and interactive installations\, workshops\, exhibitions\, and policy change. Her work often offers numerous points of entry\, be it through sensory experiences\, information-sharing\, participation in the creation process\, or community- and connection-building. \nABOUT THE MODERATOR:\nGene A. Felice II\, Assistant Professor in Digital Art at UNCW\, bridges his creative practice across art\, science\, education and design\, developing a sustainable network of innovation\, living systems\, and emerging technologies. His hybrid practice grows at the intersection of nature and technology\, developing coactive systems as arts science research. Throughout his creative process\, emerging technologies such as 3D printing\, laser cutting & CNC milling hybridize with older methods such as wood fabrication\, lost wax bronze casting\, ceramics\, glass casting and more. While keeping site specific histories in mind\, he achieves confluence by merging these varied passions into a system of creative collaboration.

SUMMARY:Art After Helene: From Mountains to Sea Artist Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Art After Helene: From Mountains to Sea Artist Panel Discussion\nThursday\, January 22\, 2026 • 6:30-7:30 PM\nReception Hall \nCAM Members $10 | Not-Yet Members $15 | Students & Educators Free \nJoin us for an engaging artist panel featuring Western North Carolina artists Julyan Davis\, Erika Diamond\, and Bill Green\, all included in CAM’s exhibition From Mountains to Sea. In conversation with Associate Curator Ben Billingsley\, the panel will explore how artists respond to place\, change\, and lived experience through landscape.\nThe conversation will also reflect on the impact of Hurricane Helene—the deadliest strike on the U.S. mainland since Hurricane Katrina—highlighting how memory\, grief\, and ecological trauma can be transformed through creative practice into works of hope and renewal. \nThe exhibition From Mountains to Sea features landscapes that are at once beautiful and provocative\, scarred yet sacred\, speaking to loss\, change\, and rebirth. Learn more about the exhibition here. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS:\nJulyan Davis is an English-born artist and writer who has painted the American South for thirty years. He received his art training at the Byam Shaw School of Art in London. In 1988\, having completed his B.A. in painting and printmaking\, he traveled to the South on a painting trip that was also fueled by an interest in the history of Demopolis\, Alabama and its settling by Bonapartist exiles. \nErika Diamond is a textile-focused artist\, curator\, and educator. Holding degrees from Rhode Island School of Design (BFA) and Virginia Commonwealth University (MFA)\, Diamond has exhibited nationally and abroad in venues such as Contemporary Craft\, SPRING/BREAK Art Fair\, Dinner Gallery\, Form & Concept Gallery\, and Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art. As Associate Director of Galleries at Chautauqua Institution and a freelance curator\, she creates exhibitions that blur distinctions between the genres of art\, design\, and craft\, while centering diverse voices and practices. \nBill Green\, a photographer\, explores the idea of lost America wherever he finds it. Green documents the heritage of Southern small-town life and the stories found therein. Obscure everyday scenes people might not otherwise are where he can be most often found. He believes that a mix of time\, place\, and texture is often dismissed as the uglier side of cities or countryside\, yet it resonates aesthetically in ways modern buildings can’t. \nFEATURED IMAGERY:\nThe photographs used in event materials are by Bill Green\, one of the panel artists. His paired “before and after” photographs—this example being one of three—document sites before and after Hurricane Helene\, highlighting the storm’s destruction and its lasting impact on small-town Western North Carolina. \nPhotograph credit:\nBill Green (American\, b. 1963)\, A Quiet Stretch [detail]\, [left] Before 12/30/21\, [right] After 1/5/25.
