First Fridays at Museum for Art in Wood
Join the Museum for Art in Wood for First Fridays in Old City, where guests can enjoy extended visiting hours to explore its exhibitions, collections, and shop.
On display in the gallery, guests can view artist Katie Hudnall's most ambitious work, 'The Longest Distance between Two Points,' offering a rare glimpse into the artist's rich inner world. Here, the absurd and mechanically improbable merge with fine woodworking and salvaged wood materials to bring mechanisms and structures to life and action.
Upstairs in the Museum's Fleur and Charles Bresler Research Library, Assistant Curator Amrut Mishra assembled a collection of works from the permanent collection into a new exhibition, 'Cinders: Burned, Scorched, and Pyrographed Works in Wood. The featured artworks revel in the incendiary properties of wood as a medium. Illustrated across 26 objects by 22 artists and largely drawn from the Museum’s permanent collection, Cinders delves into the enigmatic tension between permanence and fragility that materializes in fire-treated wood.
