Organizational Background
Since its inception in 1986, the Museum for Art in Wood (formerly the Center for Art in Wood, the Wood Turning Center), has been widely recognized by artists, collectors, scholars and the public as one of the most valuable resources for the education, preservation and promotion of art made from wood. The Museum currently houses over 1,200 permanent collection objects and 25,000 artist files and mounts 4–5 exhibitions of new work and museum collection objects annually.
