When master painter Thomas Waterman Wood founded the museum for the citizens of Montpelier, VT in 1895, he had a vision of an institution that would bring the transformative power of art to the people. Hours are Tuesday-Saturday 12:00-4:00pm

The T. Wood Gallery & Arts Center has been an important part of the Montpelier community since 1895 and houses a large permanent collection of the works of T

In addition to the permanent collections we have two contemporary gallery spaces featuring rotating exhibits of regional contemporary artists. The Gallery runs a successful Summer Art Camp for youth between the ages of 5-12, a year round After-School Arts programs, and a variety of adult classes. Our gallery is available to rent for community and private events. Wood Gallery mission is to preserve our artistic heritage and to bring the best of today's art to central Vermont.
