Cameron Art Museum celebrates excellence in the arts by being a culture gathering place. The museum also serves as a vehicle for economic development in this community by attracting new residents, tourists, business and providing innovative programming and classes for all ages. Cameron Art Museum was formerly named St. John's Museum of Art, operating 1962-2001 in a cluster of historic buildings located in downtown Wilmington. In the mid-1990's, St. John's Museum was in need of better environmental conditions and expanded space. In 1997, the Museum trustees launched a capital campaign and began a search for the new building site.
