Member Conversations The Face of Lincoln Wednesday, October 14, 10 AM via Zoom CAM Members only event - Free
Join CAM staff for a conversation with John "Clell" Hamm and John Rutledge Short about The Face of Lincoln, a meticulous casting formed in bronze from the original terra cotta sculpture by Robert Merrell Gage. In 1956, Gage created the Face of Lincoln in clay, based upon and inspired by the remarkable 1860 plaster life mask made of Lincoln by Chicago sculptor, Leonard Volk. It was one of only two face masks ever created of President Abraham Lincoln. Throughout his career, Gage sculpted likenesses of Lincoln in many stages of the president's life, and starred in the 1955 Academy Award winning film, The Face of Lincoln (20 minutes).

Virtual Class Sunday Seminar: Artemisia Gentileschi Sunday, October 18, 2:30-4 PM Instructor: Luc Travers CAM Member: $10; Non-Member: $15
Growing up in the male-dominated art world of 18th century Italy, Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-1696) built on the Baroque style she learned from her father to create a successful career of her own. In this class, we'll look at how she epitomized the Baroque style of her time, but then added her own distinct twists to many well-known stories, like Mary Magdalene's, Cleopatra's, and Judith's. |

Virtual Come Hear NC Pat "Mother Blues" Cohen Wednesday, October 21, 6 PM
Join Pat "Mother Blues" Cohen for a special virtual concert as part of CAM's Come Hear NC series, funded by the North Carolina Arts Council and AARP North Carolina. Since the age of six, Pat was surrounded by music. Her blues classroom was on the porch of her uncle’s house where one played the guitar and the other played the harmonica. Her first professional engagement came in the early 1980’s when she was asked to perform at a local club where she was attending college. “I had three days to find three musicians and put together 30 songs,” she said. “They loved me—the rest is history because I’ve been singing the Blues ever since.” Livestreaming on CAM’s Facebook Page and YouTube. This is a virtual concert you don’t want to miss |
