Wisconsin Pottery Association

Mission Statement and Goals:
The Wisconsin Pottery Association (WPA) is organized as a Nonstock Corporation under Wisconsin Statutes and is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization under federal regulations. Its mission generally is to promote knowledge and appreciation of art pottery among its members and the general public. This is accomplished through regularly scheduled meetings and informal presentations which are open to the public, and by establishing networks with individual collectors and other collector associations throughout the state and nation. Included in this mission are efforts to work with state and local museums in preserving the history and heritage of Wisconsin potteries through promotion of periodic exhibits as well as permanent displays of their products. To further this goal, the WPA has become an affiliate member of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. Ongoing efforts are planned to hold such exhibits as may be deemed desirable and to publish articles and other materials which may further the general mission.
