The Wayne Art Center is a non-profit art center in Wayne, Pennsylvania that has offered classes, lectures, events and exhibitions for more than 90 years.[1][2] The Wayne Art Center was organized in 1931 and incorporated in 1932 during the Great Depression. Its mission was to share joy in beauty and art among the broader community.[2]

The Center's current executive director is Nancy Campbell, who took over the position in 1987.[2] Each year the Wayne Art Center offers approximately 500 classes to around 5,000 students. In December, it hosts the annual CraftForms exhibition, a juried show of national and international craft artists.[2] Through events such as its biennial juried quilt exhibition, Art Quilt Elements, the Center focuses on craftsmanship and the use of traditional media by modern craft artists.[3]
