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.
CAM members are involved in a truly international art and photography exhibition, part of the Cambridge Heart of the World music and culture festival running from July 12th to 24th.
CAM artist Deanna Tyson will curate the painting exhibition that runs from Monday 12th to Saturday 17th July, then Chris Williams, owner of Williams Art, CAM”S home gallery, will curate the professional photographer’s exhibition and the “Picture the World” photographic competition which is open to the general public, running from the 19th to 24th July.
Some of CAM’s international artists will exhibit alongside China’s “Fish King”, Chen Hong and the Anglo Indian contemporary print maker, Natasha Kumar.
All work will be for sale with a percentage donated to the Haiti appeal run by CBM in support of overseas aid for the disabled.
The Picture the World exhibition also features an open evening on Monday 12th July at which artists and CBM will talk about their work. The event takes place at the Michaelhouse Café and Centre,Trinity Street, between 6pm and 8pm, to which all are welcome.

CAM is very pleased to welcome its five new artist members:
Rosemary Catling, Mohammed Djazmi, Valerie Sims, Rebecca Ilett and last but definitely not least Marina Yedigaroff. We hope to see works by these fine artists adorning the walls (and glass cabinets) of the Gwydir Street gallery very soon.
Taking as its theme the African diaspora, Art To Die For is a three-location exhibition of powerful and very thought-provoking works of art from CAM artists Deanna Tyson and John Lyons.
The show is based at three locations: Primavera representing Freetown, King’s College representing Liverpool and Williams Art representing the final destination, New Orleans – please visit www.williamsart.co.uk for full information about this important exhibition.

“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’.”
The private view, Thursday 17 September, of the self-portraits by Cambridge Arts Movement members was a huge success. I was amazed by the variety of work entered by the other 29 artists and the feedback from the many visitors was very positive. It was amazing to see the variety of styles and techniques used – how each artist approached the subject differently.
The exhibition runs until the 30th September so if you get a chance visit the Williams Art Gallery in Gwydir Street, Cambridge. After that, some portraits go to Addenbrooke’s Treatment Centre together with the winner of our Self-Portrait Competition. Visit the Williams Art site for more info.
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.
