Illustrated Lecture and Artist Night: The Story of Our Collection with Executive Director Heather Wilson
Join Executive Director Heather Wilson for a fascinating illustrated lecture on the evolution of the Cameron Art Museum’s permanent collection. Discover the journey from the St. John’s Museum of Art to the present day. Get an exclusive look at how CAM’s collection reflects its community and has evolved over time.
Heather Wilson will guide you through the key acquisitions that have shaped the museum’s collection, from Mary Cassatt’s The Ten to our most recent acquisition, Judy Chicago’s Return of the Butterfly. This lecture offers insight into how the museum’s collection has become the heart of its exhibitions and educational activities.
Artists are invited to join us free of charge. The evening begins with a reception at 5:00 PM, offering a chance to mingle with fellow creatives before the lecture.
Heather Wilson became Executive Director in June 2024, having served as Deputy Director since 2019. Her diverse background includes roles in publishing, significant contributions to CAM’s programming, and securing major grants. Wilson also co-founded the literary journal Ecotone and continues to be an influential voice in the museum community.
