Out of Place: The Windgate Arts Residency Program in Wood 2026

August 7 – October 25, 2026

The Museum’s annual summer exhibition represents the culmination of the Windgate Wood Arts Residency Program (WARP-Wood), a two-month arts residency program. In this exhibition, the resident Fellows present work created during the residency, which emphasizes research, exploration, and the opportunity to work in a collaborative environment. Now in its twenty-ninth year, this renowned residency offers artists specializing in the material of wood the opportunity to test their vision and skill, while developing connections with colleagues, collectors, the Museum, and the rich cultural landscape of Philadelphia.
