The T.W. Wood Museum is excited to announce two new contemporary exhibits opening in August, 2026 that celebrate the work of New England artists.

On view in the Nuquist Gallery, Their Own Vision is an installation by Vermont artist
Charlet Davenport who had last shown the exhibition at the T.W. Wood Museum in 1992. Davenport has masterfully painted recognizable copies of T.W. Wood paintings on one side of fiberglass screens suspended from single wires about chest level to viewers. On the other side of the screens are depictions of figures that hold personal significance to Davenport, such as her great-great-grandfather James Holland, a watercolorist of great renown who taught in Queen Victoria’s household. Also included in Their Own Vision installation are handmade ceramic vessels and prints from Davenport.

Housed in the Contemporary Hall, the 5th Annual Printmaking Invitational 2026 is an open-call exhibition showcasing work by local and regional printmakers since 2022. This exhibition is curated by Museum Coordinator, Newton Gallegos. This exhibition showcases many printmaking techniques such as lithography and monoprints.
