Art Alum Returns to Wilmington for Solo Exhibit

Meredith Connelly, a 2011 alumna of UNC Wilmington, has returned to the city to install her first solo exhibition at the Cameron Art Museum. Titled "Nested: Where Light Gathers and Nature Holds," the outdoor installation features glowing, cup-shaped nests built from reusable plastics and other unconventional materials, creating a warmly lit nature stroll for nighttime visitors. Connelly, now a multidisciplinary artist based in Charlotte, worked with UNCW students on the installation and reflects on how natural intelligence and human observation shape our built environment.
