SUMMARY:December First Friday
DESCRIPTION:This First Friday, stop into the Museum for Art in Wood an
 d experience its current exhibitions, A Usable Past: Reflections on a 
 Nation and Its Inheritance, which brings together sculpture by twelve 
 artists who reckon with America’s layered histories. From family lin
 eages and ancestral myths to rooted or shifting values, the ideas that
  drive these works probe how the nation’s past continues to shape th
 ese artists and their experience of the present. Drawing from the meta
 phorical power inherent in the material of wood, these artists transla
 te inheritance into form, giving “shape and substance to national id
 entity.”In addition to A Usable Past, opening in the Museum’s Libr
 ary is the collection-themed exhibition, American Graffiti: Painting, 
 Dyeing, and Surface Design in Wood, which follows the rebellious, expe
 rimental, and often quirky spirit of artists who dare to obscure the u
 nadulterated beauty of wood grain.\nWhile visitors are at the Museum, 
 explore its permanent collection featuring over 1,400 objects and shop
  the Museum Store for unique handmade objects, jewelry, artworks, and 
 books.\n\nFor more information visit http://phillytodo.com/events/dece
