What is the Wellsboro Art Club?

The Wellsboro Art Club (WAC) warmly invites artists of all backgrounds and disciplines to join our creative community. For just $20 a year, members become part of a supportive network dedicated to sharing ideas, expanding skills, and celebrating the art experience together. WAC has been promoting the arts in area communities since 1948.

Open Studio

We gather every Thursday at 10am at the Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center, 134 Main Street in Wellsboro, and would love to see you there. In addition, we’re planning one or more evening meet-ups each month to make it easier for more artists to participate.

Open studio sessions are an opportunity to connect, share ideas, explore materials, enjoy demonstrations and discussions, and simply create alongside one another. Whether you come to learn something new or to work quietly in good company, you’ll find a welcoming space to grow your artistic practice and build meaningful community.

Business Meetings

Business meetings are held once per month on the first Thursday and is scheduled at the same time as studio time. Often, a demonstration, artist’s talk or instruction takes place afterwards and in place of open studio.

Activities

Throughout the year, we enjoy visits to artists’ studios, galleries, and museums, along with local lectures, films, and performances—opportunities to experience art, learn together, and stay connected as a creative community.

There is also a members’ show at the Gmeiner annually and we are featured in the windows of the Deane Center January-November along with other local venues. Additionally, there are vendor opportunities and community projects that we engage in.
