Jan 15\, 2026 | 6:30 – 8:00 pm ET | In-person\nRSVP \nJoin us for a special musical performance celebrating the current exhibition\, A Usable Past: Reflections of a Nation and Its Inheritance\, featuring artists Taji Ra’oof Nahl (TR7) and Jamaaladeen Tacuma. The performance will echo themes of cultural identities inherited through family or migration\, the building of new legacies within a heterogeneous society\, the fragility of democratic ideals\, and the failures of systems that promise unity\, liberty\, and self-governance. \nAbout the Artists \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Taji Ra’oof Nahl (TR7) is a Philadelphia-based conceptual artist whose practice merges sculpture\, sound\, performance\, and experimental cinema into a site-responsive method he calls Field Trips to Staged Productions. A 2024 Guggenheim Fellow in Fine Arts\, his work explores civic infrastructures\, ecological intelligence\, Islamic cosmology\, and African American intellectual lineage. His ongoing Abstract Dynamics series—often realized as duo projects—extends this approach through live scoring\, moving-image presentation\, and spatial activation. TR7 is the founder of Ra’oof Atelier\, Channel TR7\, Adam Vocabulary Club\, and The Other Sounds of Philadelphia. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Few musicians leave their audiences with a feeling that they have truly witnessed something amazing. Artist/Producer/Performer/Arranger/Innovator AND Bassist—JAMAALADEEN TACUMA does just that. This native Philadelphian has always stretched the old mold of what a bassist is supposed to play and how. Tacuma has redefined his instrument’s artistic potential. In the mid 70’s\, his creatively free approach to the bass caught the eye and ear of the legendary saxophonist Ornette Coleman. Tacuma became a member of Coleman’s electric band\, Prime Time\, he toured with the group and played on some of Coleman’s historic recordings such as: “Dancing In Your Head”\, “Body Meta”\, and “Of Human Feelings”. As a soloist\, Tacuma continued to push the musical envelope with his debut album\, simply titled “Showstopper\,” in 1983. Several records followed\, some of which include: Renaissance Man (1984)\, Music World (1987) and JukeBox (1989)\, Cosmetic\, Boss of The Bass\, which confirmed his ability to flip between various musical genres. Even the critics have had high praise for Tacuma’s musicianship and artistry. One year he received the highest number of votes ever for an electric bassist in the “Talent Deserving Wider Recognition” category of the DownBeat critics’ poll. \n\nIn recent years\, Jamaaladeen has been gaining recognition from some of the United States most prestigious artist foundations. In 2011\, Jamaaladeen received the Pew Arts & Heritage Award\, the Marcus Garvey Foundation Award\, and the Uptown Theater Hall of Fame Award in 2014. Jamaaladeen has received composer’s residencies at the prestigious MacDowell Colony\, Headlands Center for the Arts\, and Civitella Rainier Italy\, where he composed a new project he will be presenting in 2015. He was honored in 2018 with Philadelphia’s Benny Golson Award and Liberty Bell Medal\, in 2020  Jazz Journalist Association “Philadelphia Jazz Hero Award”\, 2021 South Arts Creative Residency Grant\, and Mid Atlantic Arts International award. In 2023\, he was honored by Morocco with the Visa Music Award. Staying true to his artistic and experimental approach to music\, Tacuma consistently brings fans worldwide musical peace and happiness. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n This event is free to the public. The Museum for Art in Wood interprets\, nurtures\, and champions creative engagement and expansion of art\, craft\, and design in wood to enhance the public’s understanding and appreciation of it. A suggested donation of $5 per person enables us to provide programs and exhibitions throughout the year. \nDONATE \nQuestions?

Entrepreneur\, teacher\, and artist Sterling Cruz-Herr will co-host with artist\, educator\, and wood sculptor Leo Louise this edition of the roundtable discussion with leading queer woodworkers and artists in wood\, sharing the ways their lived experience impacts their craft\, process\, and aesthetic. \nJoin us for this enlightening and community-filled afternoon. \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n About the Co-hosts\n \n \n \n \n \n Sterling is only young in woodworker years; but they nonetheless are building a business — T4Timbers — with products for the queer/trans community and our allies. What they lack in woodworking experience\, they are trying to offset with communication skills garnered over decades. \n \n \n \n \n \n Leo Louise (they/them) is a queer and trans artist\, educator\, and wood sculptor based in Baltimore\, MD. They transform found wood into sculptural objects that honor queerness\, abundance\, and cooperation in nature. As a self-taught artist\, Leo came into woodworking through community networks and mutual learning—not formal training. That DIY lineage informs their commitment as an educator to demystify craft and challenge who gets to belong in spaces of making. They are a woodworking instructor and shop monitor at Baltimore’s Station North Tool Library and travel often to teach and assist fellow woodworkers at craft schools across the country.  \n \n \n \n \n \n This event is free to the public. The Museum for Art in Wood interprets\, nurtures\, and champions creative engagement and expansion of art\, craft\, and design in wood to enhance the public’s understanding and appreciation of it. A suggested donation of $5 per person enables us to provide programs and exhibitions throughout the year. \nDONATE \nQuestions?

Dec. 5\, 2025 | 5:00 – 8:00 pm ET | In-person\nWalk-ups Welcome \nPlease join us for the First Friday opening of American Graffiti: Painting\, Dyeing\, and Surface Design in Wood! \nDuring the 1970s\, prominent American woodturners like Bob Stocksdale and David Ellsworth marshalled their virtuosic talents to turn vessels that showcased the natural and idiosyncratic features of wood such as knots\, infestations\, and complex grain figure. Embracing species such as Brazilian rosewood\, African blackwood\, and pink ivory wood that appeared “exotic” to American audiences\, these artists highlighted the drama of naturally occurring figuration. By the 1980s\, artists began to challenge this prevailing orthodoxy; pioneers like Meryll Saylan questioned the creative value of rarefied wood types and the field’s prevailing rejection of surface decoration. American Graffiti: Painting\, Dyeing\, and Surface Design in Wood follows the rebellious\, experimental\, and often quirky spirit of artists who dare to obscure the unadulterated beauty of wood grain. \nDrawn from the Museum’s permanent collection\, American Graffiti presents twenty-one objects by eighteen artists. Works of turning\, carving\, and sculpture demonstrate how the allure of color and surface design has captivated artists working in wood. For some\, wood offers a blank canvas for representational sculpture\, embellished by the application of vivid paint or imagery. For others\, dye and surface texturing deepens the exploration of formal qualities like shape and volume\, without the distraction of figured patterning. Taken together\, these artists offer a tongue in cheek response to collectors\, enthusiasts\, and critics that limit their appreciation of wood art to the beauty of strictly natural features. Through automotive lacquer\, fiberglass\, milk paint\, or dye\, these works invite viewers to appreciate the artistic touch that remains on the surface. \nArtists: \nJĂ©rĂŽme Blanc; Mike Darlow; Michael De Forest; Giles Gilson; Louise Hibbert; Michael Hosaluk; Michael Hosaluk and Mark Sfirri; Connie Mississippi; Binh Pho\, Greg Wilber and David Williams; Hap Sakwa; Merryll Saylan; Betty Scarpino; David Sengel; Alan Stirt; Derek Weidman; Maria Van Kesteren \nLocation: The Fleur and Charles Bresler Research Library at the Museum for Art in Wood \nRemarks at 6:00 pm \nAmerican Graffiti 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\, and Windgate Foundation. \nPictured above: Merryll Saylan\, North Seas\, 1988.

Oct. 23\, 2025 | 6:30 – 7:30 pm ET | In-person\nClick HERE to RSVP \nJoin us for a gallery talk with the 2025 WARP Wood Scholar Fellow\, Holly Gore. This talk approaches WARP Wood 2025 as belonging to a continuum extending through the three-decades-long duration of the program and further—through Philadelphia’s long history as a city that has supported artists and craftspeople in unique ways. \nAbout Holly Gore \nWhat does it mean to build and who can be a builder? The very language of construction is saturated with moralism: angles are “right” and boards “true.” In artist homes and intentional communities\, the ability to construct one’s own living environment has assumed cosmic dimensions of world-building. Sometimes\, though\, the liberative potential of woodworking is limited by gendered and racialized norms whose deconstruction is overdue. \nAs a writer and curator\, I excavate histories of art\, craft\, and design toward illuminating the present. My recent focus has been on modernism and the work of building—in wood\, metal\, earth\, and stone. During the WARP Wood residency\, I did research in the Museum for Art in Wood archives on the beginnings of the program as a residency for woodturners. In the process\, I found that this turning legacy persists in shaping WARP Wood today\, even as the residency has changed dramatically over its thirty-year lifespan. \nI am based in Chester County\, Pennsylvania\, where I am Director of Interpretation and Associate Curator at the Wharton Esherick Museum. Prior to earning a Ph.D. in art history at the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, I had a first career as a museum cabinetmaker and exhibition designer. \nThis event is free to the public. The Museum for Art in Wood interprets\, nurtures\, and champions creative engagement and expansion of art\, craft\, and design in wood to enhance the public’s understanding and appreciation of it. A suggested donation of $5 per person enables us to provide programs and exhibitions throughout the year. \nDONATE \nQuestions?
