The Art of Fine Furniture

Winona was literally built by the lumber industry. Once a more common trade, today the time-honored skills of woodworking have become an art form. ​Founded in 2013, The Art of Fine Furniture is an annual exhibit featuring new creations of professional and hobbyist studio furniture makers.  Each year a new exhibit invites and excites one’s curiosity to explore the inner mysteries and workings of the pieces and the traditional skills of the craftsmanship that goes into each.  Like the other gallery shows at the History Center, most of the furniture exhibited is for sale and is free to explore. 

Next Show: August 5 - September 18, 2022

Community Curators for the Art of Fine Furniture

TiAnna DeGarmo

My journey in wood began as a little girl working alongside my Father building homes. I worked in the intensive field of architectural millwork throughout my 20's and 30's, and now I own Furniture by DeGarmo and create studio furniture in Lansboro, Minnesota. I strive to create designs that are beautiful to behold and pleasurable to handle while being simple, clean, and useful. I am excited to step into the role of community curator for The Art of Fine Furniture.

Jamie Schell

I was born and raised in Rollingstone, Minnesota and I currently live in Winona, Minnesota. I left the driftless region in my late 20’s and returned in my late 30’s. It wasn’t until leaving my home area and moving west that I felt the pull towards making art for a living. In 2013, I founded The Art of Fine Furniture with WCHS to bring the art of studio furniture to more diverse populations of our community and region.
