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.
