CAMTalks

An audience sits in an auditorium watching a presentation.

Learn about the art and history of Cape Ann through CAMTalks, a series of informative lectures that provide deeper context behind the Museum’s exhibitions and the region’s history. From panel discussions on untold histories to conversations between contemporary artists to presentations from esteemed scholars, CAMTalks has something for everyone.

All CAMTalks are live-streamed on the Cape Ann Museum Facebook page and posted in our Video Vault. Join us in person, live online, or take a look through past recordings to expand your knowledge of the region.
