Winter Gallery Talk with Winter Residency Fellow Lin Elkins

Join the Museum for Art in Wood for a gallery talk with the 2026 Winter Residency Fellow Lin Elkins. The residency is designed for artists in Greater Philadelphia who work in the medium of wood and is a collaboration between the Museum for Art in Wood and NextFab. An exhibition of work created during the two-month program will be presented at NextFab from March 12 to May 21.

Elkins is a Philadelphia-based artist, furniture maker, and craftswoman who holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Furniture Design from Appalachian State University. She is driven by the dichotomy between the natural and the built environment and how that tension affects the spiritual and physical connection we have to ourselves and the world around us. Elkins explores this through purposeful functionality, playfulness, and art, creating opportunities for moments of comfort, wonder, and curiosity.
