3rd Floor Workshop & Art Space
WCC’s Workshop & Art Space is a flexible environment for arts- and culture-focused workshops and classes located on WCC’s third floor. With a kitchen, on-floor bathroom, and conference area, this space can also accommodate meetings, receptions, and other events.
WCC serves as an artistic, cultural, and educational resource for the Washburn and Chequamegon Bay region. We are committed to preserving and maintaining our historic building as a relevant and sustainable community gathering place.
The WCC building houses art galleries, an antiques shop, the Vinyl Vault, and workshop/community-gathering space; as well as the Washburn Area Historical Museum, run independently by the Washburn Area Historical Society.
Sponsorship and volunteer opportunities are open to all who desire to participate in the preservation of our historic brownstone building and the rich heritage of the area. We encourage the use of our building for meetings, receptions, classes, exhibits, workshops and other events.

Washburn’s unique story is preserved and housed in a magnificent brownstone structure known as “The Old Bank Building.”
Built in 1890 by A. C. Probert, it is listed on both State and National Registers of Historic Places. Restoration of our facility was started in late 1991, and a grand opening celebration in the summer of 1993 marked our “official” beginning. 2007 marked another milestone when we replaced the original 117 year old roof with a new one that is historically and architecturally appropriate.
