At Woodmere, the staff is always looking for ways to make your visit as enjoyable and seamless as possible. While we’re counting down the days to the grand opening of Frances M. Maguire Hall on November 1, 2025, we remain fully committed to enhancing your experience at our current home, Charles Knox Smith Hall.
New Ticketing System Launches Aug 5
To better serve you, we’re launching a new and improved ticketing system on August 5, 2025. Just as it does now, our website will directly connect you when you select “Register Now.” Everyone will need to create a new account, but the platform will offer more features and flexibility than ever before. We’re here to make the transition smooth—check out the easy step-by-step guide here and click here to view our video tutorial for extra help. Members click here.
Woodmere Will be CLOSED for Facility Improvements Aug18-Sept 3
We’re also investing in important upgrades to Woodmere’s Smith Hall, including:
- Interior renovations and repairs
- Paving the back parking lot (near the Studio)
To complete this work efficiently, the galleries will be closed from August 18 through September 3, 2025. Cars will not be permitted to park in the back lot during the re-paving, but Studio classes will continue as scheduled. Security and staff will be onsite to welcome and assist students.
