WSW mounts exhibitions of visiting artists' work and artists' books at our facility, and coordinates off-site shows in conjunction with other galleries and organizations. WSW in-house gallery regularly shows the work of visiting and resident artists, as well as the work of young people participating in the Arts-in-Education program.
