Important Dates  and Logistics for West of Center 2025

• We will need a few volunteers to move artwork from WAC to DCWM on Wednesday July 23, as well as transporting unsold work back to WAC at the end of the show on Tuesday Sept. 30.

• The museum needs volunteers and cannot guarantee the learning center will be open if volunteers are not available. West of Center is an excellent opportunity to become a DCWM volunteer
