MILLVILLE, NJ (December 26, 2025) –  As the winter season arrives, Wheaton Arts and Cultural Center will close to the public during January, February, and March. During this time, the Museum of American Glass, Folklife Center, and Artist Studios will undergo exhibition changes, inventory updates, and facility maintenance in preparation for the spring reopening.

The campus will fully reopen on Thursday, April 2, 2026, when WheatonArts resumes its seasonal operating schedule, open from April through December. While the grounds and buildings are closed, visitors can continue to shop year-round at the Museum Stores online at shop.wheatonarts.org or schedule an in-person shopping appointment.

An exciting exception to the winter closure is the annual Mid-Winter Antique Show, taking place January 24 & 25, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Held in the WheatonArts Event Center, the show features approximately 40 quality dealers offering a wide selection of antique furniture, books, ceramics, glass, jewelry, linens, memorabilia, toys, pottery, vintage accessories, and more. Admission is $8.00 per person at a special discounted rate.

WheatonArts Members are invited to enjoy early access to the show beginning at 9 a.m. on Saturday. During the Antique Show weekend, the Museum of American Glass, Artist Studios, and Museum Stores will also be open to visitors.

During the 2026 winter season, WheatonArts will continue the online program for Family Art Workshop video tutorials. These videos are posted every first Tuesday of the month, presented by PNC Arts Alive. Past episodes of our virtual programming, Wheaton Conversations and Family Art Workshops, are available on the WheatonArts YouTube channel.
