CAM After Dark: Conversation with Joe Grant
2026-04-23 18:30 - 19:30 | NC
CAM After Dark: Conversation with Joe Grant – Executive Director of Starworks
Thursday, April 23 | 6:30–7:30 PM
CAM Members: $10 | Not-Yet Members: $15 | Students & Educators: Free

Join us for an illustrated lecture celebrating the exhibition Magic, Light and Sacred Geometry: Glassworks by Frederick G. Kahl, presented by Joe Grant, Executive Director of Starworks in Star, NC.
Magic, Light and Sacred Geometry: Glassworks by Frederick G. Kahl is the culmination of the artist’s decade-long inquiry into the immersive and meditative quality of light. Featuring glass works and drawings, the exhibition reflects a career shaped by magic, play, and a sense of mystery.
Also known as “the Great Fredini,” Kahl’s practice has spanned visual and stage illusions, yogic sideshow feats of sword swallowing, and 3D scanned and printed portrait sculptures. In this lecture, Joe Grant explores how Kahl’s current focus on sacred geometries comes together to create meditative, immersive experiences — and what that means for the works on view.

Boundless Tour in the PNC USCT Park
2026-04-24 13:00 - 13:30, 2026-05-01 13:00 - 13:30 | NC
Boundless Tour in the PNC USCT Park – Free with Museum Admission

Step into history with a guided tour of Boundless, a life-size bronze sculpture by artist Stephen Hayes. Located in PNC USCT Park on CAM’s grounds, this striking monument honors the legacy of the United States Colored Troops (USCT)—the brave soldiers who fought in the Battle of Forks Road during the Civil War in 1865.

The sculpture was created from casts of the features of 11 African American men connected to the site and its story – USCT descendants, re-enactors, veterans, and community leaders. Boundless was unveiled on November 13, 2021, and is on permanent view in the PNC USCT Park on the museum grounds. The sculpture is deeply connected to our community’s history, present, and future.

When: Every Friday from 1:00 PM to 1:30 PM. Free with museum admission.
Your tour will be led by one of our knowledgeable tour guides.
