Jazz at CAM with Jay Killman & the Constellations Quartet Thursday, October 3 at 7 PM |

| Join us this Thursday evening at 7 PM for an exciting evening of modern jazz with Jay Killman & the Constellations Quartet, live as part of Cameron Art Museum’s Jazz at CAM series.
This dynamic quartet, led by the innovative guitarist and composer Jay Killman, brings a fresh and eclectic sound that transcends traditional jazz boundaries. Killman’s original compositions blend genres such as swing, indie, blues, R&B, hip hop, and romantic classical, creating a musical journey that is as emotional as it is technically brilliant. |
| The Constellations Quartet—featuring Carlos Garcia on piano, David Canning on bass, and Jon Hill on drums—has been together for nearly a decade. This long-standing collaboration allows each musician to elevate the other, pushing the music to new heights and delivering a captivating performance that resonates with audiences. |

Thomas Sayre: Four Walls
Thomas Sayre: Four Walls features new and never exhibited works by American artist Thomas Sayre (American, b. 1950). Each of the four large-scale pieces installed in Cameron Art Museum’s Hughes Wing engage the belief systems and symbols that underpin the ideals of church, nation, and creation. Made of materials that include tar, smoke, fabric gowns, gunshots, welding material, earth and fire, these works invite visitors to draw close and experience the messiness of making, and by analogy, to bear witness to the ways that life invades, entangles, and tarnishes us.
