Mayor Sheila Stuart and her husband Bruce chat with Chris Williams
Cambridge City Mayor Sheila Stuart and her husband Bruce attended the Private View of Switch-Swap at Williams Art on Thursday 19 August, where they met the three visiting artists from Cambridge’s twin city of Szeged – Eva Bubla, Nora Szakacs and Robert Markus. They also chatted at length with Julia Sieber-Boyd, chair of the Cambridge Szeged Society and many of the CAM artists.
The classic Motown song has been the inspiration for a dozen CAM artists to create some very varied work, on display at Williams Art until 7 July. Some of the more eccentric submissions include Maureen Mace’s version of La Giconda (Mona Lisa) and Robert Good’s retro mirror with a lipstick ‘kiss’ on it. Get along to see it soon, or better still, come along to the Private View on Wednesday 30 June between 6 and 8pm.
CAM is proud to be supporting and curating Picture the World, the Heart of the World exhibition being held at Michaelhouse on Trinity Street, Cambridge which runs 11-24 July. Visit Williams Art for more details.

“It’s our way of introducing ourselves,” explains artist Nick Ellis. “It’s us saying ‘This is who we are – and this is what we do’.”
CAMaraderie is an exciting collection of self-portraits created specially for this show by all 30 current members of the movement. Expect the unexpected from this diverse collection of artists – paintings, sculptures, photographs, montages and more. But all within the confines of a specially-made A3 panel.
