Turns out they knew exactly where they were going. 🦆👀

The ducks have made their way into With a Southern Accent: Sporting Art and Fine Art of Eastern North Carolina, opening September 19 at CAM.

At the heart of the exhibition is an extraordinary collection of Southern duck decoys collected by Bruce B. Cameron, displayed alongside work by celebrated Southern artists including John Beerman, Scott Avett, Beverly McIver, Thomas Sayre, Damian Stamer, Bob Timberlake, and more.

Wildlife. Art. Southern tradition. And a whole lot of ducks.

Special thanks to guest curator @rosrunreel for letting his decoys make the journey.

See it beginning September 19.
