Advisory Committee

The Advisory Committee of TPW is composed of senior artists, curators and leaders in the arts who together form a brain trust for the gallery. While they don’t hold formal responsibilities, advisory committee members support both board members as well as staff and artists associated with TPW on issues and opportunities. Often advisory committee members serve as mentors to the board or TPW community.

The committee meets twice a year.
