Review:
T.W. Wood Gallery and Arts Center preserves the artistic heritage of the Central Vermont region, highlighting the Montpelier area's top working artists in a variety of media. The gallery, which dates back to 1895, was originally deeded in honor of area artist Thomas Waterman Wood, its namesake. 42 lovely paintings by the artist formed the crux of the gallery's original collection, including watercolor paintings and etchings. Wood was known for his paintings of African American area residents, one of the first 19th-century artists to regularly depict former freed slaves as people with ordinary lives. In addition to gallery exhibits showcasing his works and career, visitors can view pieces held within the Works Progress Administration Artwork Gallery, which serves as the state's sole repository for Great Depression-era pieces, including social resistance artwork. Changing exhibits in the gallery's contemporary room rotate on a bimonthly basis.
