What can you see and do at WheatonArts? 

In the Museum of American Glass:

Centuries of Tomfoolery

Through the centuries, glassmakers have skillfully crafted vessels, pipes, and whimsical objects for communal entertainment. Whether intricately designed or deceptively simple, they prompt us to reflect on evolving cultural mores and society’s sense of humor at specific points in time. Come explore a fascinating group of objects through the lens of working artists compelled to recreate clever glassblowing feats from the past or push the boundaries of contemporary functional art. On display in the Museum through December 29, 2024.  LEARN MORE

In the Down Jersey Folklife Center:

Ceremonies in Circles

Explore traditional masks, garments, and objects related to special rituals and community celebrations of West African cultures. Most featured artworks were created by artists in our region, with others acquired from private collections. The exhibit provides insights into the West African traditions of masquerade as well as artistic interpretations of old wisdom and new meanings, with unique visualizations of universal human values, joys, fears, and hopes. On display in the Folklife Center through December 29, 2024. LEARN MORE

In the Glass Studio:

Glassmaking Demonstrations

Join us in the Glass Studio to feel the heat and be amazed as artists transform hot, molten glass into beautiful works of art! Meet and greet our team of glass artists as they demonstrate creative glassmaking techniques throughout the day! Demonstrations change daily, from glassblowing to mold pouring. Inspired by the original 1888 T.C. Wheaton Glass Factory, the building holds much of the essence and history of glassmaking in South Jersey and is considered the “heartbeat” of WheatonArts.  LEARN MORE
