The Center for Art in Wood is the founding arts and educational institution, maintaining the history and leading the growth, awareness, appreciation and promotion of artists and their art in or related to wood.
The Center offers activities from within several different program areas. The Center displays wood art on site and in traveling exhibitions. Education and community outreach programs bring hands-on wood turning and woodworking experience to students throughout the region. The Museum Collection contains over 1000 objects from around the world, ranging from functional, every-day objects to contemporary sculptures. Our research library consists of over 25,000 images, artists’ files, and books that help preserve the exciting history of wood turning and woodworking and their continuing evolution as a contemporary art form. Over the last two years, the Center mounted 15 exhibitions which served as the central programming focus during the time of their presentation.
