A lively evening of street-festival activities, an official ribbon-cutting ceremony, and a weekend of free admission and special programs mark the grand opening of CAM Raleigh, a museum for contemporary art and design in Raleigh’s historic Warehouse District. Elysia Borowy-Reeder, who begins as Executive Director on May 16, will lead the museum’s dedication to exploring what’s now and nearing within an always-changing museum experience. Its inaugural exhibitions feature artists Dan Steinhilber (Washington, DC) in the main gallery and New York–based Naoko Ito, the first artist in the Independent Weekly Gallery’s Emerging Artists Series.
