"Look to the West" brings together the voices and visions of artists from Western North Carolina whose lives and landscapes were forever changed by Hurricane Helene.

This vibrant, multi-media exhibition – featuring painting, sculpture, ceramics, glass, fiber/textiles, collage, mixed-media, digital work, and more – offers a stirring glimpse into the ways art can process, protest, and prevail in the aftermath of disruption.

The exhibition features works by:
-Anna Buckner
-Andréa Keys Connell
-Jeana Eve Klein
-Jenny Picken
-Kenny Pieper
-Daniel Rich
-Margo Vaughn
-Jerrie Settles

Together, their work tells a collective story: one of resilience, community, and the healing force of creativity. "Look to the West" is both a celebration of creative endurance and a call to engage.

Visitors are invited to experience the diverse works on view, connect with the stories they carry, and support the artists through the acquisition of these original works.

🖼️All artworks in the exhibition are available for purchase, with 100% of proceeds going
directly to the artists.


Thank you to our sponsors!

Thank you artists and patrons for a truly insightful artist talk last night!

This was one of our most engaging and vulnerable talks, and we are grateful for your attendance, thoughtful questions, and supportive attitudes.

Lamar, Renee, and Delayna explored their artistic inspirations drawn from family and life, discussed how their creative processes often begin with dreams and journaling, and shared their goals of exhibiting their work internationally. We learned about the importance of recognizing your community, remembering to find peace, and manifesting your goals.

Connect with them below!

CHRIS METZ metz

Christopher Metz is a self-taught photographer from Raleigh, NC whose work combines experimental portraiture and abstract candid images. He creates photographs using 35mm and 120mm film cameras from the early 50s to the mid 70s, each with a single lens.

Creating timeless images is the main goal for Metz, as they capture a world of their own, often reflected and expressive of the relationship he has with the subjects he chooses to photograph.

Previously, he had a gallery featured at Appalachian State’s “Looking Glass Gallery” which featured a collection of black-and-white photographs all of which captured timeless moments.

Last Friday, we welcomed The Raleigh School to CAM with a mini-exhibition! Elementary school children have the opportunity to display their work in CAM's glass gallery all throughout the month of February.

You'll see themes of nature and environment through the use of paper collages, watercolors, and pen sketches. The children's use of color, composition, theme, and concept is really quite remarkable. Great job, students!

Stop by CAM (or peek through our glass gallery windows) to see the colorful artwork on display all throughout February!
