Center for Art in Wood

Comment on Facebook

The Center for Art in Wood (formerly The Wood Turning Center) has taken a new name and in November 2011 opened its doors in an exciting new location among the art galleries of Old City. Both changes reflect the growing recognition and importance of artists working in wood and their contemporary works of fine art and craft. It is a Center where artists, educators, collectors and art audiences can come together to learn from each other and to move the field forward.

Internationally renowned for presenting the finest contemporary works of art in wood, The Center for Art in Wood features changing exhibitions, a museum collection, research library and archives, and a museum store. The Center offers public outreach programs and annually hosts an International Turning Exchange residency program (ITE) for artists, photojournalists and scholars.

The Center for Art in Wood offers military discounts! Present your military ID to get 10% off your gift shop purchase.
