Walk-ups are Welcome

Join us for First Friday and the opening for A Room of Their Own: Still-Life Sculpture and the Creative Interior. Drawing on Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own (1928), A Room of Their Own examines the conditions and effects that facilitate creative work. A staged ladies’ writing desk anchors a still-life of carved wooden sculptural objects—domestic forms rendered with care and precision. This exhibition, comprising art from the Museum for Art in Wood’s permanent collection alongside works on loan, reflects on the nourishment of thought, time, and space as supports for the inspiration, focus, and discipline required to live a creative life.

A Room of Their Own is generously supported by the Cambium Giving Society of the Museum for Art in Wood, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, The Bresler Foundation, Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, Philadelphia Cultural Fund, the William Penn Foundation, and Windgate Foundation.
