We Belong Here: Opening Night
2025-04-24 18:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York)
Join us Thursday, April 24th from 6-9 PM for the opening night of We Belong Here, a powerful new exhibition that celebrates the global voices of contemporary artists and asserts that everyone has a place in the story of art.

This exhibition, drawn from the diverse Gutierrez Collection, aims to foster dialogue and understanding through art, embracing a broad spectrum of identities and perspectives.

The exhibition features over 130 works created in the twenty-first century by some of the biggest names working in contemporary art today. The international contemporary artists featured work in a broad range of media, engaged with current social, political, cultural, and personal issues.

Explore the galleries and immerse yourself in the works that challenge boundaries and connect communities. Meet the passionate collectors, Onay Cruz and Jeff Childers, and hear their vision for the collection.

DJ Tim Jarman of the Fuzzy Needle will set the tone with a live set of music inspired by the exhibition, while End of Days Distillery will offer free tastings of their locally distilled spirits. CAM Café will be open for dinner, with a curated menu and drink specials. Call (910) 777-2363 for CAM Café reservations — spots fill up quickly!

Be part of a shared conversation about art, identity, and belonging at CAM.
