Wheaton Arts and Cultural Center
Wheaton Arts and Cultural Center engages artists and audiences in an evolving exploration of creativity through diverse programs, exhibitions, and residencies. With over five decades of history, WheatonArts is renowned regionally, nationally, and internationally for its unique collections and programs. Located in Millville, the birthplace of America's glass industry, WheatonArts houses the Museum of American Glass, featuring the most comprehensive collection of American glass and one of the few museums to be accredited by the American Alliance of Museums in New Jersey.
WheatonArts believes the arts enhance our understanding of human thought and feeling, enriching our lives. The Center offers a unique experience by blending Contemporary Art, Decorative Arts, and Multi-Cultural Traditional Arts, making creativity accessible to all. By preserving Southern New Jersey’s glassmaking heritage and presenting it within a national context, WheatonArts broadens perspectives for both local residents and international visitors.
Dedicated to supporting artists, WheatonArts provides a nurturing environment for creative development and artistic experimentation. The Center emphasizes the importance of arts education, particularly for school-age children, and integrates the arts into the core curriculum.
