About the Center

Mission

The Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts celebrates the arts and promotes wide-ranging approaches to self-expression including painting, ceramics, film, music, woodworking and photography with exhibitions, performances and workshops. The permanent collection preserves the legacy of Beatrice Wood through the artist’s work, her collection of folk art from around the world, an extensive library and archives of historical material. The Center celebrates her spirit of experimentation and originality. Exhibitions featuring both acclaimed and emerging artists are documented and shared through film and new media. Operating as part of the Happy Valley Cultural Center, the Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts is committed to serving both the local and international art community.
