The Center for Art in Wood was officially established as a nonprofit in 1986 by brothers Albert and Alan LeCoff, following a series of international symposium from 1976-1986 presented by the LeCoff's with woodturner Palmer Sharpless. The organization operated as the Wood Turning Center at the corner of 5th & Vine St. (2nd photo) until 2011, when it moved to its current location on 3rd St., in a former machinery shop (3rd photo).
The Center is both an exhibition space and research library, founded to promote and preserve the field of art made from wood. The permanent collection contains over 1,000 objects from around the world, ranging from functional everyday objects to contemporary sculpture.
